ACCES 2023 is taking place in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, from 9 to 11 November after it held a successful edition in the same city last year.

The programme features more than 40 top speakers from Africa and around the world who will address key aspects of the local and global music industries, and in the process amplify knowledge and opportunities for players in the African music industry.
