Presented by BPI
BPI CEO Dr Jo Twist OBE and BPI CSO Sophie Jones will chair a panel discussion on the symbiotic relationship that exists between education and the music/creative industries.
Jo and Sophie will look to explore how the door to talent can be opened further, including around the UK, so that talented young artists and people drawn from all backgrounds can have a meaningful opportunity to find their way into the industry – be nurtured and developed and realise their full potential. Also how, in particular, record labels, artist management, regional hubs, media platforms, and other parts of the music ecosystem are already working effectively together to tap into the talent pipeline and what more can be done or is needed for our industry to be able to harness diverse talent to help grow British music consumption and exports.
