The largest annual music industry careers event for young people in the North of England is back. Delivered in partnership with leading music organisations including Universal Music, Spotify, UK Music, AdLib, PLASA, LIPA, Revere Arts and LIMF Academy, Music Industry Careers Fest is the perfect opportunity for anyone interested in a career in music to explore the industry, network with professionals, and connect with like-minded individuals.

This year’s event is proud to announce Jonny Abraham, composer, orchestral musician, and member of the band Public Service Broadcasting, as the Keynote Speaker. Jonny will be joined by Freelance Broadcaster Ellie Ajao for a Q&A to share his experience and insights into the dynamic world of music.

In addition to the keynote address, the Careers Fest will feature a range of engaging workshops, demonstrations, and talks from industry experts, including:

Other exciting offerings include a masterclass on networking, curating your CV, and presenting yourself in the best possible light for a career in music. Additionally, an interactive workshop will guide attendees on how to run a soundcheck, create a promo plan in just 30 minutes, and build a portfolio career.

With more to be announced, this event will cover a broad spectrum of career opportunities within the music industry, including performing, composing, songwriting, sound engineering, technical and production roles, music journalism, recording, management, music education, creative health, and much more.
