Moshito Music Conference and Exhibition
Location: Johannesburg, South Africa
Moshito is an annual music conference and exhibition. The event is held in partnership with the Department of Arts and Culture. Moshito is underpinned by a commitment to giving South African music industry stakeholders credible business intelligence, enabling them to make informed decisions that will enable them to build a defendable competitive advantage in the marketplace for their companies. Its aim is to strengthen the South African music industry's global competitiveness. Historically, Moshito has its roots in the South African Music Industry Co-operation Initiative (SAMICI), which was formed 2003 as a part of a response to several pressing issues affecting the South Africa industry as a whole. For the first time, a broad base of industry stakeholders joined forces to focus on several key areas of the industry--in particular, music piracy, the need to develop music markets for South African music (especially beyond the country's borders) and the urgent need to create a social benefit and welfare program for musicians.The IIP intern would support the Moshito Music Conference and Exhibition by marketing the Moshito brand and activities to the American and other markets through FB, Twitter, blogging etc. The IIP intern would also work with the Research and Content Manager (RCM) to improve the information management system. The RCM is the person responsible for crafting the conference program. Interns should have interest in the music industry with skills or experience related to digital Communications/marketing. The IIP internship does not require any language apart from English, but knowledge of any African languages is most welcome. French would also be an asset. One placement is reserved for an International Internship Program (IIP) intern.
