To mark five years since the launch of the shesaid.so global network for women in the music industry, a four day gathering titled MEETSSS will take place in Portimão, Algarve, between 3–6 October.

Guest speakers include Georgia Taglietti of Sonar Festival, Vanessa Bakewell from Facebook/Instagram and Shakira Payne of Sonos. There will also be music from Deena Abdelwahed, Mafalda and Surma. The peer-to-peer mentoring scheme she.grows will also be represented. Partnering up with YouTube Music, they're offering five spots to women, trans and non-binary people, with a minimum of two from host country Portugal. Applications close on 1 September.

Tickets for the weekend are available on Resident Advisor.
