Irish DJ and radio host Annie Mac has revealed more details of the AMP London Conference to be held in March. The conference is for anyone wanting to learn more about the music industry, with talks from some of the top creatives and business heads in the country as well as gigs all around London.
The four day event will take place from 4th-7th March and consists of over 20 shows from various artists, and a conference held at Camden House on 6th March. At the conference, guest speakers will discuss “the most urgent and pertinent themes affecting the music industry today” according to the official website. There will also be a chance to network and ask questions on the day.
When talking about the music industry and the event, Annie Mac makes an incredibly well-put point, saying “It’s a really exciting time. There are still, however, huge sticking points for me”. She went on to mention the representation and diversity which is still lacking in the music business, as well as the lack of mental health support and climate action. These are all topics need to and will be covered at AMP London.
Some of the important current topics include Women In Music; LGBTQ+ Artists; the Growing Impact of Cultures in Music; Sustainability in the Industry; Mental Health, for which Ellie Goulding will join the panel. Artists Mahalia and Raye will speak at the Artistic Differences panel – the full list of panels can be viewed on the AMP London website.
