The ABO's primary event each year is its annual conference, the major gathering of the classical music industry in the UK, with over 350 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 as Digital Media Partner, Help Musicians as Charity Partner, and British Council as International Partner.

Our 2023 conference will be taking place in Leeds, hosted by Opera North, from 1-3 February. Further details will be published soon.
