AVA London 2026
Beyond Boundaries
24–26 September 2026
The UK’s most culturally-focussed, future-facing music industry forum — built for high-trust conversation, cultural & music maker access, and senior decision-makers.
Where music, art, technology and ideas converge, AVA London is a future-facing gathering for the people shaping what comes next. It connects global leaders and curates spaces where creative talent, decision-makers and innovators exchange ideas, build connections and influence where music and culture go next.
Across music, art and technology, the questions are getting sharper. Authorship, artistic practice, nightlife, artificial intelligence, brand partnerships, publishing, sync, cultural policy, along with the opportunities, challenges and economics behind the music, art and culture we live with every day.
AVA London returns this September to bring those conversations into the room by day — and onto the dancefloor by night.
Moby, Richie Hawtin, Oklou and The Avalanches join the opening wave, alongside teamLab, No Tags Podcast, Ableton, PRS for Music and more.
Across three days and nights, AVA London brings together artists, makers, thinkers and industry voices — through talks, workshops, masterclasses, live events, installations and club moments across Central London.
