About Us
The Live Music Business Awards is produced by Live UK Events, organiser of annual conference and networking event LIVE UK The Summit, which celebrates its fifth year in 2011.
LIVE UK THE SUMMIT
Launched in October 2007, produced by Live UK Events and backed by the publisher of LIVE UK magazine, The Summit (www.liveuksummit.com) is an annual focal point for companies and individuals involved in the business of contemporary live music.
A wide range of issues facing the industry is covered by conference sessions and discussion groups, with electronic voting used to gauge the audience’s view.
Those attending range from promoters, agents and artiste managers, from operators of stadia to pub landlords and from festival and media event organisers, to brands and marketing executives, record labels and scores of other service providers.
