This year we’re joining forces with the incredible AVA Festival to bring you Ireland’s leading music conference. We’ll be hosting over 30 sessions, workshops, masterclasses, panels, keynotes and state of the nation addresses across all aspects of the music industry - with a focus on creative skills (writing, performing and producing) and business skills (management, streaming, music and image, networking and wider creative industry partnerships).

Supported by Belfast City Council, Belfast City of Music and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland - and with sessions delivered in partnership with The Ivors Academy, PRS for Music, Help Musicians, Resident Advisor, SCGI, BBC Introducing, CMU, On Music and more - delegates can expect the most diverse programme of music industry education and networking the city has ever seen.

We believe our new partnership will help propel the music industry’s growth in Northern Ireland, as well as celebrate emerging and established talent and create a wealth of opportunities for music and electronic arts throughout Ireland.

The full conference is free to attend and open to all - just sign up below for the panels you would like to attend. We encourage you to make a note of your choices so you remember them on the day of the conference.
