Every year for the last 18 years we’ve had the pleasure of bringing key industry bodies and decision makers from across the music industry together in Manchester for Un-Convention.

The likes of UK Music, The BPI, Association of Independent Music, LIVE, Music Venue Trust, Association of Independent Festivals, PRS for Music, PPL, The Ivors Academy, Black Lives in Music, Musicians' Union, and Music Publishers Association alongside Members of Parliament, government bodies and many more have contributed to some important discussions and actions around the state of the industry, and ways to move forward.

A lot has happened, and changed in those two decades, with new opportunities and challenges arising, so of course we’re very much looking forward to keeping those ideas and conversations going at this year’s event, As such are delighted to announce the first five CEO’s joining us for October’s Un-Convention.

With current work spanning the Live Levy, Sustainable Touring, Audience Trends, AI Disruption, Artists’ Rights, Business Support, International Mobility, Equality and Diversity, Globalisation Trends, Sustainability, Job Creation, and Economic Growth, we’re excited to have such a wealth of insight, influence and experience with us again in Manchester.

It’s an honour to have UK Music, MMF, LIVE, FAC and AIF with us this year, and look forward to announcing more brilliant organisations who will be joining us soon.

As always, if you make, champion, release, support or promote music then it would be wonderful to have you with us at this year’s Un-Convention, taking place in Manchester’s Northern Quarter on the 22nd and 23rd October. A little number of Early Bird Passes are currently available at: https://www.skiddle.com/e/42289190
