The Musically Unorthodox Conference puts the spotlight on how the music and wider creative industries can better work with youth and community organisations, and local authorities and institutions, to connect with and support young adults who are not currently in education, employment or training, enabling them to hone their creative skills, make connections and advance their careers. 

We know that the music and creative industries hold great potential for marginalised young people, offering unconventional avenues for expression, skills development, entrepreneurship and community-building. Our conference brings together educators, the music industry and young creators to discuss how we can remove barriers, connect dots and provide support to help realise that potential. 

Here in the MU Conference Hub you can access sessions from past editions, the conversations, the organisations we put in the spotlight, the key stats and insights that were shared, and the motivational presentations that were delivered. Plus get updates on our current projects and next edition.
