Music Venue Trust Announces Venues Day 2023
9th Edition of UK Grassroots Music Venue Sector Conference Set to be Biggest to Date
‘Behind the Scenes’ Announced as Theme for This Year’s Event
Music Venue Trust (MVT) has announced details of its annual Venues Day event, which will take place at The Fireworks Factory in London on Tuesday 17th October.
The south London venue, part of the Woolwich Works complex, will host the biggest attendance to date for Venues Day, which celebrates its 9th year in 2023.
MVT, which represents over 900 UK grassroots music venues (GMVs), has held this one day event for the sector since 2014, with delegates representing venues, promoters, agents, artists, government departments, funding bodies and a wide range of ancillary service providers. It is the largest gathering of GMV professionals in the world.
The theme for this year’s event has been announced as ‘Behind the Scenes,’ in recognition of the huge amount of work carried out by GMVs that isn’t just about putting on the show itself but the practicalities of keeping a venue running and ensuring it remains economically sustainable.
Beverley Whitrick, COO, MVT
