Now in its third year, the City of Music Conference returns to London, Ontario — Canada’s UNESCO City of Music — with an expanded two-day format!

Taking place on Thursday, November 6 and Friday, November 7, 2025, this dynamic conference will once again bring together municipal leaders, policy makers, artists, music industry professionals and cultural advocates to explore the powerful role of music in building sustainable, inclusive, resilient cities. Of course no conference would be complete without live music!

This year’s expanded format reflects the growing momentum behind the global ‘Music City’ movement and reinforces the role music plays in innovative city-building. Music is proven to build bridges between the public, private and creative sectors while empowering cities to use music as a tool for diplomacy, equity and urban renewal. Come celebrate London’s 4th anniversary as a UNESCO City of Music.
