"We're proud to support The Ultimate Seminar for the fourth year in a row. We continue to be focused on providing opportunities for young and underrepresented talent outside of London and the team at Cre8ing Vision help us to make it a reality.

Manchester has been, and continues to be, the foundation for incredible UK talent, so, for the third  year running, Band On The Wall and NQ House are perfect venues to host. We look forward to helping promote the next generation of the music industry in September." says Tony Harlow, CEO, Warner Music UK.

Cre8ing Vision have also today announced brand new Ultimate Studio Sessions to take place in London and Manchester from September 2024 to March 2025. The sessions will support a diverse array of songwriters, producers, and artists and are designed to amplify individual creativity, and foster a sense of confidence among participants, allowing them to forge valuable connections and experiences with their peers. Funded by The Talent Development Network and supported by PPL, bringing together organisations working at the frontline of talent development, strengthening the music ecosystem. 

This unique opportunity aims to discover new talent from across the UK, and allows participants to engage in a comprehensive creative project, covering every aspect from inception to completion. Upon finishing the programme, the selected tracks will be signed off, and a visual video will be produced to promote the tracks and the initiative. The tracks that receive the best responses will be highlighted and marketed across music media and social platforms.

Speaking about the new project, Cre8ing Vision says "Building unique opportunities that engage and serve the next generation of young creatives is at the heart of everything we do at Cre8ing Vision. We are excited to get started on The Ultimate Studio Sessions. We would like to thank the PRS foundation and its Talent Development fund for awarding The Ultimate Studio Sessions - this will help open doors to an entire new generation of writers, artists and producers and we are ecstatic to see what unfolds."

The Ultimate Seminar event will bring together respected executives who will host insightful forward-thinking conversations on the future of the music industry. The Ultimate Seminar has become an essential annual event for those wanting to pursue careers in every area of the music industry. The sessions will enable attendees to learn valuable business skills and benefit from networking opportunities, bridging the gap between the classroom and the boardroom.
