The Summit is the only event in the UK dedicated to uniting and supporting the country's contemporary live music industry.

The conference aims to help companies and individuals directly involved in stage events, operating venues and representing artistes grow their businesses through expanded knowledge, broader contacts and a reinforced self-belief.

It also serves to help others within sectors such as brand marketing, media and new technologies, aiming to access the live sector, get to know the industry and network with key players.

This, the fifth Summit, will feature some radical change in the programme, with more panels, keynotes and networking opportunities.
