International Live Music Conference (ILMC)

The ILMC (International Live Music Conference) is an annual conference dedicated to the global live music industry. For over 30 years it has been the main meeting place for leaders across the live music world to congregate, network and discuss their business. Held in March every year, the unique event attracts more than 1,000 professionals over three days. The invitation-only event also presents The Arthur Awards, the Oscar-equivalent of the concert business during an annual Gala Dinner. In addition to its main conference, ILMC also produces other industry events including the ILMC Production Meeting (IPM), the Green Events & Innovations Conference (GEI), Futures Forum, The Event Safety & Security Summit (E3S) and the International Festival Forum (IFF). ILMC also publishes IQ, a leading information resource for the international live music business. IQ’s news, features, information and analysis is read by 50,000 professionals worldwide each month, and it publishes a monthly magazine, several annual reports, and a daily news digest, IQ Index.
