Catch up on panels from 成人论坛 Introducing Live 2023

This year saw the return of 成人论坛 Introducing's highly anticipated, flagship music discovery event – 成人论坛 Introducing Live – with a new format to support even more young musicians, creatives, and industry talent across the UK.

It took place from Saturday 7th – Saturday 14th October and was bigger, bolder, and more inspiring than ever before, as it spanned across six vibrant cities: London, Leeds, Manchester, Belfast, Glasgow and Cardiff.

Across the various events, 成人论坛 Introducing hosted a series of activities, from educational panels featuring industry veterans, to immersive workshops that delve into the intricacies of the music industry, plus a full schedule of live performances and opportunities for unsigned artists to practice their performing skills.

If you weren't able to attend any of the events, you can still hear some of the invaluable advice and experience that was shared during the event.
