Packages

There are several conference packages to choose from so there is something for everyone. Do you want to watch the budget or do you feel like having a splurge? Do you want to experience the whole "shebang" or just the bare basics? Whatever your thing, you'll find a package to suit you.

Please read through the packages information carefully to be sure you are choosing the one that you know you will be happy with. Don't forget that you can pay a $200 deposit now to hold your spot at the conference. The balance doesn't have to be paid until May 22nd, 2008, so there's plenty of time to save up the rest.

This is the deluxe package which includes everything:

  • Resort accommodation and surroundings at the beautiful Mantra Resort Ettalong Beach
  • All Meals
  • Thursday evening cocktails on arrival/registration
  • All the seminars
  • Song pitch/es with Faculty Publisher/s of your choice
  • Morning and Afternoon Tea
  • Main meals with the Faculty
  • Cocktails with the Faculty on Saturday night
  • Open Mic sessions every night after dinner
  • Informal jam sessions late each night

This is the perfect package if you are from outside the Central Coast area, but even if you live on the Central Coast, consider this package for the unprecedented networking opportunities it offers with the Faculty. 

Each evening, Faculty members will be seated at the dining tables with our Gold attendees.  They will be rotated each night, giving you the chance to really get to know them and network to your heart’s content!  Only Gold package attendees will get this amazing opportunity.

Most of the Faculty will stay at the Resort too, so they will be around for all the meals, and when they are not running a seminar or pitch session, they will ‘float’ around the conference and be available for you to chat with them.

As a Gold attendee, you have the opportunity to check into the Resort and register for the conference on the Thursday afternoon.  You will enjoy complimentary cocktails, meet the ASC staff and receive your Conference Kit, including ASC t-shirt and other ‘goodies’. 

Only Gold attendees can register on Thursday afternoon,
so you will also have first option of Publishers for your song pitch/es!


Bring your musical instrument so you can get up and perform your original songs at the Open Mics after dinner - and then jam late into the night with your new friends in one of the break-out rooms that will be made available especially for Gold attendees.

You will also be able to make your song pitch selection/s at registration (*please note that Gold attendees will have first option for song pitch selections on Thursday evening, so it is possible that some Publisher’s pitch sheets may be full by Friday morning.
