2. Network While You Party

Festivals like ONE Musicfest pull in thousands of attendees from all walks of life — including alumni from your school, entertainment executives, media personalities, and creatives who could help you level up. You might be waiting for your next act to start and end up in a conversation about your career goals with someone who can open a door for you.

The beauty is that the networking happens naturally. There’s no suit-and-tie pressure, no formal introductions — just genuine connections formed in a high-energy environment. For students looking to break into music, media, fashion, or business, this is the kind of networking goldmine you can’t find in a classroom.
