Futures Forum

Futures Forum, the conference and networking event for the next generation of live music industry leaders, returns on Friday 1 March 2024 and final tickets are now available.

The fourth annual instalment of the gathering takes place at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on the final day of its renowned parent event, the International Live Music Conference (ILMC), the largest annual gathering of global touring, festival and live entertainment professionals.

Futures Forum features panels, debates, keynote interviews, mentoring meetings with senior figures from the business, and a host of great networking opportunities amongst peers within the live music industry. It’s a great way for young and early-career professionals to network and connect with others, whilst sharing knowledge and finding inspiration.

2024 conference topics include developing innovative A&R strategies, an Agents vs Bookers discussion looking at the agency business, the evolution of the music festival, making the live industry more sustainable, plus our to-be-announced keynote interview which has previously been Dua Lipa, Team Mumford & Sons and Marty Diamond. View the full 2024 agenda here.

Confirmed speakers include Connie Shao (AEG Presents), Holy Rowland (Wasserman Music), Marc Saunders (The O2), Sally Dunstone (Primary Talent) and Jamie Tagg (Mighty Hoopla) and Beckie Sugden (CAA). Our extensive 2024 speaker list is here.

Delegations from almost every major booking agency and promoter will be in the room, with over 400 young and emerging executives already signed up and attending on the day. You can view the delegate list here.
