Next wave of MEETSSS artists and speakers announced

The likes of Tunisian star Deena Adbelwahed and IMS co-founder Ben Turner will join the four-day conference

The second wave of artists and speakers for shesaid.so's debut international conference, MEETSSS, has been announced.

New names added to the four-day Portuguese event include rising Tunisian star Deena Abdelwahed (pictured), IMS co-founder Ben Turner and Maria May, a Senior Agent at CAA who has worked with everyone from David Guetta and Jamie Jones to Francesca Lombardo and Róisín Murphy.

They join a lineup that already features co-founder of #MuteRKelly and Festival Coordinator at ONE Musicfest in Atlanta, Oronike Odeleye and Chidera Eggerue (aka the Slumflower).

The event, which will take place from October 3 - 6 in Portimão, Algarve, Portugal, will also host several music showcases that will feature local and international artists, with a "clear but non-exlusive focus on female-identifying talent."

In July, we announced our new editorial partnership with shesaid.so, which will offer members the opportunity to have their work published in the pages of our magazine.
