Two critical developments arose from the White Paper: –Cultural Industries Growth Strategy (CIGS) in 1998, –Music Industry Task Team (MITT) in 2000. One of the key MITT recommendations was the establishment of the Music Market.

4. SAMICI INITIATIVES SAMICI identified challenges around which the industry could work together: –Music piracy –Development of markets for SA music (local & international); –Musician’s social welfare (health, education & social security) MOSHITO conference was planned for July 2004, as step-one in responding to the three challenges. MOSHITO conference would be an annual event, with its content evolving each year.

5. COMBINED EVENTS DAC & SAMICI decided to combine the SA Music Market & MOSHITO events. MOSHITO Music Conference & Exhibition registered as host of the event. MOSHITO ’04 was to be limited to the conference. MOSHITO ’05 would include both the conference & the music market.
