What to expect |

14.45–15.00 |
Coffee Break & Information Market |
Grab a coffee, meet other participants and explore the Information Market. Discover organisations, initiatives and resources working towards a more inclusive and sustainable live music sector. |
|
15.00–15.45 |
1A - City–Village Connections: Building Northern Music Infrastructure |
How can cities and villages work together to strengthen the music ecosystem in the North? This session explores the connections between urban and rural infrastructure, opportunities for artists and audiences, and how we can build a stronger regional network. |
|
15.00–15.45 |
1B - Inclusive Music Programming: Who Gets to Take Part? |
Who gets access to rehearsal spaces, talent development and music networks - and who remains outside? Together we explore physical and social barriers, how talent is selected, who gets to define “talent”, and how music organisations can move from good intentions to lasting, inclusive practice. |
|
15.45–16.15 |
Mingle & Coffee |
Continue the conversation over coffee and connect with fellow participants, speakers and organisations. Take another look at the Information Market and discover opportunities for collaboration. |

2A - Hubs & Access to Resources: Who Gets the Keys? |
Broedplaatsen and creative hubs can be crucial stepping stones for artists and makers. But who gets access to these spaces, networks and resources? This session looks at how resources are distributed and how hubs can become more open and accessible. |
|
16.15–17.00 |
2B - Access for All: Venues, Festivals, Learning & Listening |
Accessibility is about more than getting through the door. This session explores how venues, festivals and learning environments can become more accessible – physically, socially and culturally – and what it takes to make inclusion part of everyday practice. |
|
17.00 onwards |
Drinks & Live Music |
Wrap up the afternoon with drinks, informal conversations and a small live concert. A chance to reflect on the day, meet new people and continue the exchange in a more relaxed setting. |
