As Canada’s first UNESCO City of Music, London continues to celebrate the power of music to connect, inspire, and drive creativity. This fall, the City of Music Conference returns — now expanded to a two-day format across two of London’s most iconic venues, The Wolf Performance Hall and Toboggan Brewing Co.

This year’s conference brings together music industry leaders, policymakers, and creatives from around the world for two days of meaningful learning, collaboration, and networking. Through engaging panel discussions, keynote talks, interactive sessions, and live performances, participants will explore how music can shape communities and strengthen the cultural fabric of our cities.

The 2025 program features:
• Nine presentations with guests from Canada, Ukraine, Germany, Sweden, Japan, the U.S., U.K., and Jamaica
• Five panels with speakers from Canada, Jamaica, England, South Africa, and the U.S.
• Three interactive sessions from Ontario, focused on collaboration, innovation, and alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
• Opportunities to experience London’s vibrant music community through performances and immersive programming

Conference passes include lunch on both days and entry to “Words & Music,” a special concert on Thursday, November 6 at Wolf Performance Hall — a highlight event celebrating London’s global recognition as a UNESCO City of Music.
