The Great Escape 2021

Next month will see the first online edition of The Great Escape taking place, with a packed conference programme offering delegates access to a whole host of interviews, webinars, briefings and debates, both on-demand and live, as well as networking opportunities galore within a bespoke online conference platform.

The livestreamed sessions all take place on 13-14 May, with on-demand content and networking tools also available in the days before the actual live conference.

CMU is presenting three thematic strands within the programme…

FUTURE MUSIC TALENT will look at how music educators and the music industry can better support entrepreneurial early-career music-makers, how COVID has impacted the fanbase-building process for DIY phase artists, and why it’s more important than ever to educate the creative community about copyright and data.

FUTURE MUSIC STRATEGIES will consider the latest trends in streaming, fanbase building and the direct-to-fan relationship, and investigate what the touring and festival markets will look like in the post-COVID, post-Brexit world. What technologies, data, influencers, partnerships and strategies will be essential for success in the years ahead?

FUTURE MUSIC WORLD will investigate and celebrate initiatives that are making the music world more diverse, more sustainable and more healthy, and consider the role music-makers and the music industry can play in tackling prejudice in society, addressing the climate emergency, and rebuilding communities as we recover from the pandemic.

From tomorrow, each day we’ll be putting the spotlight on a different panel taking place in these strands, introducing the speakers who will be sharing insights and opinions. In the meantime, you can grab yourself a delegate pass to access all this here.
