The next ABO conference will take place in Gateshead, hosted by The Glasshouse ICM, from 5-7 February 2025.

The ABO's primary event each year is its annual conference, the major gathering of the classical music industry in the UK, with over 300 delegates drawn from orchestras both from within the UK and abroad, plus funding agencies, venues, agents, publishers and suppliers. Our Principal Media Partner is Classic FM, with Classical Music Magazine as Media Partner, Help Musicians as Charity Partner, and British Council as International Partner.
