Diversity at the Heart of Africa Rising Music Conference
From curating a lineup that represents a myriad of genres and identities to providing dedicated platforms for emerging artists, ARMC strives to create an inclusive space where everyone feels welcome and valued.
Jules Spielmann emphasizes, “Representation is key, and we aim for diversity in our lineup. We look for unique sounds and creativity, considering factors like gender, ethnicity, and LGBTQ+ representation.”

By dedicating stages to both electronic and alternative music, they ensure that diverse musical styles are given equal opportunity to shine.
But diversity goes beyond just the music itself. ARMC understands that representation matters deeply, which is why they prioritize diversity in their panel programming.
They actively seek out and amplify the voices of queer and femme executives and artists, ensuring that underrepresented voices are not only heard but celebrated.
With 50% of the program dedicated to showcasing this diversity, ARMC strives to create a platform where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. So whether you’re a fan, an artist, or just someone who loves good music, we invite you to join us in celebrating diversity at ARMC – where every voice is heard, and every note is cherished.

When it comes to sustainability, ARMC doesn’t just talk the talk – it walks the walk. Jules highlights how their venue choice reflects their commitment: “Our venue choice speaks to sustainability in multiple ways because our panels, workshops, and showcase all take place in one building reducing transportation meaning less carbon emissions.”
But that’s not all. ARMC is teaming up with sustainable brands and products to amplify their message. Jules emphasizes, “We also collaborate with sustainable brands and products to champion sustainability through their recycled products and using our conference as a platform to showcase and educate on the importance of building sustainable brands.” It’s not just about hosting a green event – it’s about inspiring others to do the same.
