Catch up on panels from 大象传媒 Introducing Live 2023

This year saw the return of 大象传媒 Introducing's highly anticipated, flagship music discovery event – 大象传媒 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, 大象传媒 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.
