TGE’S PROGRAMME OF EVENTS FOR THE MUSIC BUSINESS.
The TGE Conference is the programme of events presented especially for the 4000 music industry professionals that attend The Great Escape each year. It includes insightful panels and discussions lead by key industry collaborators, keynote conversations, the Partner Programme, and more. New for 2024 TGE introduces a transformation of its UK-leading conference with the introduction of new expert collaborators from across the music industry who will shape and elevate the programming of the event.
The 2024 Conference will take place from Wednesday 15 to Saturday 18 May at the Leonardo Royal Waterfront Hotel in Brighton.
TGE CONFERENCE COLLABORATORS
The 2024 Conference programming will be elevated with the collaboration of some brand new partners. The Council of Music Makers, Night Time Industries Association (NTIA), BBC Introducing LIVE, and Youth Music are set to bring their expertise and networks into play. Together, they’re poised to transform the Great Escape conference into a powerhouse platform, connecting music professionals, and ensuring they stay ahead of the curve with the latest industry trends.
The week will kick off on Wednesday 15 May with the typical welcome party on our TGE Beach site setting the tone, hosted by the record labels association BPI.

The umbrella organisation represents everyone from songwriters to artists, managers, composers and musicians through its membership (Ivors Academy, FAC, MMF, MPG and the MU) – each covering different areas of expertise for music creators.
On Friday 17 May, The Night Time Industries Association will highlight the importance of the UK’s fifth biggest industry, bringing the unique concerns of venues, live entertainment and the night time economy to the fore at one of the UK’s biggest showcases of live music.
