Join us at Warner Music Group for an evening of conversations, networking, live performance, and happy hour exploring how artists build community, activate music IP, and create cultural moments beyond streaming.
The evening begins with Cyber PR’s “From Buzz to Bond: Building True Fan Relationships in a Crazy World,” a high-energy panel on superfans, audience connection, and building sustainable careers in today’s evolving music landscape. Following a networking happy hour, AFA presents “Bringing Music IP to Life: From Catalog to Cultural Experience,” a discussion exploring how artists, brands, and rights holders transform music into immersive live experiences, partnerships, and community-driven cultural moments.
The night concludes with a stripped-down performance from a breakthrough NYC-based artist, followed by an industry mixer bringing together artists, executives, and creative leaders from across the music ecosystem
