A free day of panels, workshops, presentations and networking for those working in, supporting or aspiring to work in the music industry.
The Launchpad Conference returns for 2025. Join us on the 28th of March 2025 for a day of discussion, learning and networking, with speakers from the local music scene, and those working on a national and international level at Leeds School of Arts @ Leeds Beckett University City Campus.
If you are involved in music at any level and hope to gain a better understanding of the music industry – as an artist, producer, manager, promoter, student, enthusiast or otherwise, come along to find out more from leading experts and professionals.
Sign up now to guarantee your place and be updated when we announce, topics, speakers and more.
To get an idea of what to expect, look back at last year's conference here.
Tickets for the conference are free / pay as you feel, but you need to register in advance to attend. If you are aged under 18, or a school/college looking to attend with under 18s please contact us at hello@launchpad-music.com to arrange attendance.
Tickets can be secured for free so that the event is accessible to people just starting out in music and/or on a lower income, but if you have the means to, please think about making a donation when you book your ticket. By making a donation you will be contributing to our ongoing work to support the music sector in Yorkshire.
