MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.

*PLEASE BE ADVISED REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED FOR 2026.*

The Future of Music & Entertainment summit at Earthfest 2026 is an electrifying one-day event bringing the entertainment industry's most influential voices together to explore how culture and creativity can accelerate the transition to a sustainable future.

This one-day event brings together 100 leaders from across the music and entertainment sectors - including artists, industry executives, festival organisers, streaming platforms, game developers and publishers, broadcast media and more - to discuss how music and entertainment can lead on climate action. From greening live events and sustainable storytelling in media, to the role of artists as advocates and the potential of new technologies, the summit will showcase both big industry players and pioneering start-ups.

With high-profile speakers, case studies, and live performances, it is designed to spark bold collaborations at the intersection of culture and sustainability.

The Future of Music & Entertainment is hosted by Earthfest, a not-for-profit events company designed to inspire climate action through education and community.
