The Night Time Industries Association has announced that its next Night Time Economy Summit will take place in Birmingham (UK) at Hockley Social Club, Feb. 5-6, 2025.
The summit, in partnership with the International Nightlife Association, will feature representatives from across Europe, Japan, the U.S., Canada, South America, and Australia. It will also include dedicated stages for international speakers, hosted by VibeLab, and platforms aimed at expanding the cultural footprint of the Night Time Economy.
Key themes will include queer spaces, sustainability, placemaking, well-being, security, theatre, cinema, comedy, live and electronic music, and more.
Among the most anticipated additions is a full Queer stage, developed in partnership with Gay Times and Stonewall, which will address challenges surrounding diversity and inclusion. Earth Percent and AGF will lead crucial discussions on sustainability, with each admission contributing to the work Earth Percent is doing to advance the UKs sustainability efforts in the nightlife sector.
The summit will kick off with the *shesaid.so* Brunch, a celebrated event featuring a very special keynote speaker, offering early insights into equality within the industry and key trends.
This year’s summit will deliver insights from key influencers and artists across the West Midlands, celebrating the region’s rich and diverse cultural tapestry. This will be coupled with some of the work being done in London around Black Lives In Music in the plight to end the discrimination in music. GigPig will explore the live and electronic grassroots music challenges and why supporting homegrown talent is more essential than ever.
The Summit emphasizes the critical role of collaboration, bringing together over 30 trade associations to shape the future of the sector. Their combined expertise ensures a holistic approach, fostering a stronger, more resilient night-time economy through partnership and shared commitment.
