Creative Industry Hub is holding 'Breakthrough in Music' (in association with Media Match Magazine), the UK's first and only conference built specifically to support musicians only.' The event is being sponsored by Red Green and Black, Read-Audio and the ISM who will also exhibit on the day.

Where And When Is It Taking Place?
BTIM2016 is taking place at Interchange (Atrium) Camden on Monday 17th October, 2016, which is located in Stables Market.
Why BTIM2016?
We've realised that University can sometimes fail to educate musicians on how the industry really operates, and it doesn't always teach them what they really need to know to build a career, so we've decided to take charge and do it ourselves through this event.
What Will I Get Out Of It?
BTIM2016 will educate musicians in great detail on every subject they need to know, and to deliver each workshop, we've carefully selected a wide range of speakers who are experts in their individual fields to talk on artist management, A&R, labels, legal, PR, and more.
Why This Event And Not Another One?
We launched BTIM2016 because we noticed that whilst there are a dozen music conferences in existence already, none of them focus on supporting musicians. Instead, they focus on 'industry trends' and 'technology,' which is great, but...
Without musicians, there would be no music industry! So finally. Here's an event for you.
Learn How To Become A Successful Musician
Come to BTIM2016 and learn about the most important topics you need to know in your music career, and learn from people who actually understand the industry the most, because they live and breathe it on a daily basis and are experts in their respected fields.
