A Strong Music Industry Creates Vibrant and Sustainable Global Cities A strong and sustainable music industry is the most cost effective path to build, sustain and enhance vibrant, smart and economically prosperous cities. Music Cities Convention is the world’s first event to explore the relationship between city planning, strategy, development and the music industry. From venue and community space development to education, employment, event provision, licensing, regulation and demographics, music industries impact a number of issues prevalent in city planning, strategy, regulatory and legislative aspects. Music Cities Convention will bring together the top minds from municipalities, regions, academics, consultancies and the music industry to discuss, debate and introduce new thinking, action and structure to develop more vibrant, global cities. Held alongside The Great Escape - Europe’s Leading Festival for New Music, Music Cities Convention is initiated by The Great Escape co-founder Martin Elbourne and global music market development agency, Sound Diplomacy. Music Cities Convention will bring together cities from around the world and showcase solutions and tactics taken in cities to use the music industry - and all its variants - to improve city life. We will explore issues concerning the future of live music and the city, the development and prosperity of the ‘Music City’, solutions to noise, regulation and licensing challenges, urban vibrancy, branding and cultural plurality and the impact of entrepreneurial and cluster focused policy through short ‘TED’ style presentations, collaborative panels and intensive networking.
