Why attend
Come for the business, stay for the connections
FBD isn't a music conference with business on the side. Business is the point: the operations, strategy, numbers and decisions behind the experiences people come for.
Learn what actually applies
Practical conversations about the challenges behind running and growing entertainment businesses, led by people dealing with them first-hand.
Make connections that matter
FBD is designed to create conversations that continue beyond the event, from new partnerships and collaborations to future business opportunities.
What you'll take away
Two days away from the business should be worth it
01
A shortlist of people worth knowing
Based on what you actually need, whether that's a supplier, a booking partner, a way into a new market or an investor.
02
Practical insight for real problems
Licensing, staffing, security, margins, ticketing and operations, discussed by people dealing with these challenges every day.
03
A read on where the industry is going
How consumption, technology, regulation and audiences are changing, before it starts showing up in your numbers.
04
A room full of potential business
Whether you run venues, supply them or represent talent, FBD puts you in the room with potential clients, partners and collaborators.
