The MMF run regular online events and in person events – an opportunity to our members to connect, share and learn. These events are typically anchored around a core educational element followed by opportunity for Q&A’s, sharing and connecting. We also host regular meet ups around the country (Bristol, London, Manchester, Margate) and at showcase festivals in the UK and around the world (the Great Escape, Wide Days, Focus Wales, SxSW, Reeperbahn, ADE etc)
For just one night a year, leading artists and their managers come together to celebrate their past achievements, award their peers and look to the future with excitement.
The event is attended by 600+ executives across the business, and will be held this year on Thursday 23 November 2023 at Bloomsbury Big Top. To book, please email annika@themmf.net, and for more information, please visit the Artist and Manager Awards website.
The Music Managers Forum annual Managers Summit is first and foremost, a celebration, bringing together the MMF’s diverse range of members, ensuring music managers remain at the cutting edge of new business developments and that your voices have representation. The one day gathering provides a programme of talks, discussions and workshops that provoked insight and debate leaving MMF Members inspired and energised. The 2023 Summit will be held in September alongside the MMF Annual General Meeting (AGM)
Tribes are run by our members in their local areas and allow you to grow your music network in your community. We currently have Tribes running in Manchester, Bristol and Margate. These social events happen every few months and often feature curated panels and running Q&A’s with top industry experts. If you would like to see a Tribe set up in your region please email manasvi@themmf.net
