Music Sustainability Summit Announces Programming for 2025 Event

The Music Sustainability Summit has announced programming for its second annual conference, happening Feb. 3 at Solotech Studios Los Angeles.

Focused on developing solutions to climate change within the music industry, the event will feature the following talks and panels:

These conversations will be explored in formats including keynotes, panels, breakout sessions and roundtable discussions. The event will also offer dedicated networking time, a plant-based lunch, snacks and a cocktail reception.

Tickets for the summit are on sale now. As in 2024, Billboard will be the summit’s official media sponsor.

In addition to conversation topics, the Music Sustainability Alliance (MSA), which puts on the Summit, has also announced a new partnership with Warner Music Group that will make it possible for accredited students to attend the event. The MSA Scholarship Program is offering full summit scholarships to 20 students and professionals just starting out in their careers who are passionate about music and sustainability. Applications are currently open.

Ahead of the conference, the MSA is also looking for input from music industry professionals regarding how sustainability is incorporated into their work. The window for submissions, which should be in the form of a short selfie video, is open until Jan. 17; guidelines are here. Submissions will be incorporated into the summit in February.

“In a time when climate action is overshadowed by politics, bringing our community together to align on shared goals has never been more important,” MSA CEO/co-founder Amy Morrison said in a statement. “This summit is our pivotal moment to unite, collaborate, and amplify the groundbreaking sustainability efforts transforming our industry. Together, we are leading the charge, using the power of music to shape culture and drive the urgent change needed to build a sustainable future — for music and for the planet.”
