The Brass Band Conference 2024 has been extended with additional online events being added to the programme. The Conference Fringe will offer further opportunities for learning as well as open up the Conference for those who are unable to attend the event in-person on 19 October in London.
Participation in the Conference Fringe will be free for Conference delegates as well as any of our members.
Our Chief Operating Officer, Sarah Baumann, says: “We had so many fantastic proposals for sessions this year that we didn’t have space to schedule into the event day, so we’ve extended the Conference with a number of online sessions in the run-up to the main day in London. I hope that this will give more of our member bands, and the wider sector, the opportunity to join in the conversation on ‘Creative Communities’.”
In addition to three webinars in the run up, we will also host a members virtual meet-up the following week to continue the opportunity for networking and discussion on the conference theme of ‘Creative Communities’.
