Night Time Economy Summit 24

February 8 - February 9

The Night Time Economy Summit 2024: Manchester Set to Ignite Global Nightlife Innovation!

Prepare for the ultimate celebration of the global night time economy as we proudly unveil the Night Time Economy Summit 2024! This electrifying event is poised to be the pinnacle gathering of night time economy maestros across the globe and is scheduled to rock the vibrant city of Manchester on Thursday, February 8th, and Friday, February 9th, 2024.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Escape from Freight Island, the Night Time Economy Summit 2024 is not just an event; it’s a pulsating showcase of the world’s leading nightlife experts. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the down-under beats of Australia, the neon-lit avenues of New York, and the eclectic vibes of Europe, this summit will see luminaries converging for an unprecedented exchange of ideas and innovation.

Brace yourselves for an immersive experience across four riveting stages, each dedicated to a distinct facet of the night time economy:

The main stage will host a convergence of leaders from major cities, governance bodies, central government, and global night time economy experts. This platform aims to facilitate collaborative discussions on challenges and opportunities within the night economy, showcasing successful initiatives and fostering cross-disciplinary dialogue. Topics include urban safety, cultural enrichment, economic sustainability, and technology’s role in enhancing the nocturnal experience. The main stage serves as a hub for thought leadership, driving actionable strategies for the evolution of vibrant night economies globally.

Hosted by Defected Records, Stage 2 promises to be an electrifying experience as it plays host to the first two day collaboration with one of the most successful labels in the UK. This stage will be a hub of innovation, featuring insightful conversations on crucial aspects of the electronic music industry, including management strategies, the role of agents, trends in publishing, effective promotional techniques, and the evolving landscape of record labels. With a lineup of experts and influential figures, Stage 2 is set to explore the cutting-edge developments shaping the future of electronic music within the vibrant night-time economy.

During Stage 3, Day 1, we further strengthen our global ties with VibeLab, a key player in the international night-time economy movement. Their unique perspective unfolds on the stage, highlighting innovations in safety, ergonomics, communication, data management, and advocacy. This collaboration underscores our commitment to fostering a safer and more efficient global nightlife experience.

Stage 3 on day 2 at the Night Time Economy Summit hosted by We are the Fair, the discussions surrounding independent festivals and events delve into the myriad challenges that organisers face in this dynamic sector. Independent festivals play a crucial role in shaping the cultural landscape, fostering creativity, and providing unique experiences. However, they often encounter obstacles such as financial constraints, regulatory hurdles, and logistical complexities. Balancing the need for safety and compliance with the desire to maintain the distinctive character of these events is an ongoing challenge. Moreover, the unpredictable nature of external factors, including weather conditions and public health concerns, further adds to the complexity. The summit serves as a platform for stakeholders to collaboratively explore innovative solutions, share best practices, and advocate for policies that support the sustainability and growth of independent festivals within the Night Time Economy.

Step into the spotlight of Stage 4 at the Night Time Economy Summit during the nocturnal hours, where the spotlight is on Advocacy, Accessibility, Diversity, Inclusion, and Sustainability. Delve into an exploration of innovative strategies dedicated to making the night time economy universally accessible while fervently championing diversity and inclusion. As the night unfolds, contribute to a dynamic conversation centred around sustainability, collectively steering toward a greener, more environmentally responsible nocturnal landscape. Join us in engaging in conversations that transcend the night, shaping the future of our after-dark world in ways that truly matter.

As a beacon of innovation, the summit will feature insights from government officials across the UK, including the esteemed partnership of Greater Manchester Combined Authority, ensuring that public policies evolve in tandem with the dynamic needs of the night time economy. Our global network will serve as a bridge, connecting experts worldwide for unparalleled international cooperation and knowledge exchange
