Innovation on Stage: Songpact at the BIGSOUND x CAST Tech Showcase

At this year's BIGSOUND conference in Brisbane, Songpact was proud to be one of only four startups chosen to present at the inaugural CAST Tech Showcase. The event brought together founders, artists, and industry leaders to spotlight how technology is reshaping the music business.

Our Presentation

Songpact Co-founder, Nick Weaser, represented Songpact on stage, sharing our mission to make music contracts simple, clear, affordable, and accessible—not just for the top 1% of artists with traditional legal support, but for the entire creative community.

The Showcase Lineup

Songpact was honoured to present alongside three other standout startups:

• acta – a platform helping artists and teams automate key parts of their workflow
• LINES – creating new ways for artists and fans to connect through community-driven experiences
• Greenroom360 – offering tools that empower artists and venues with smarter live event data

A Global Platform

The showcase was curated by CAST with support from a world-class selection committee, including leaders from UNIFIED Music Group, Best Nights VC, and New Renaissance Ventures.

As we highlighted on stage, Australia is becoming an increasingly important market for music-tech startups. By putting founders in front of artists, managers, and investors, BIGSOUND created a rare opportunity to test ideas directly with the people who matter most.

What It Means

Being chosen for this showcase validates that the industry is ready for simpler, smarter, and more transparent contracts. Events like this highlight just how much innovation is flowing into the music industry right now.
