Over 25 years we've seen that coming together to share innovative ideas from projects and professionals is a powerful way to create change. Sessions cover key topics in working with 0-25s and aim to inspire sustainable, inclusive, and impactful change across the music sector.

By sharing our collective knowledge and building new connections, we believe this community can spark sustainable, nationwide changes in sector practices, meaning even more young people can change their life through music.
