We've got a whole host of NextGen Community events planned for 2025.

Popping up all over the UK, there will be plenty of opportunities for young creatives to learn from industry leaders and insiders, as well as meet and network with each other too.

Last year, our NextGen Community events saw us travel to Cardiff, Glasgow and Manchester, as well as hosting several events in partnership with Young Guns Network (YGN) at the head offices of organisations such as Levi's, AWAL and Meta in London.

This year, there's plenty more where that came from. We're continuing our partnership with YGN, linking up with music industry tastemakers, Pirate Studios and Kobalt, who will each open the doors to their London office, and share their insights on a panel of expert insiders.

Our events will be coming to Leeds, Brighton, Nottingham and Liverpool, showcasing local NextGen Community artists, curating panels featuring local creative trailblazers, and giving attendees plenty of opportunities to network too.

Following feedback that our NextGen Community would like to take part in remote events, we're doing just that. This spring, we will be hosting online workshops with BBC Studios and Bandcamp, open to young creatives all across the UK.
