Alongside the music acts performing this year, the Sound City+ Conference will offer a packed schedule of discussions, workshops, masterclasses, and networking, solidifying Sound City's pivotal role in the music industry by supporting emerging creative and industry talent.

This year, the conference partners with the BPI, bringing its acclaimed In Tune With Tomorrow Summit to Liverpool for the first time. This core strand will feature a full day of future-focused content on supporting talent and human-led creativity, including a keynote from BPI CEO Dr Jo Twist OBE.

Attendees can also look forward to a fireside chat with Isabel Garvey, COO of Warner Music UK, exploring modern success in music, and Vanessa Bosåen, President of Virgin Music UK, will lead key conversations within the BPI sessions and many more spirited conversations this year.
