What’s On… UD x TRENCH @ Launchpad Conference 2025, 28th March, Leeds

UD are happy to announce we’ll be at the Launchpad Conference in Leeds on the 28th March. In partnership with TRENCH, our panel will explore how to independently grow online and offline networks – all with a do-it-yourself attitude

UD presents: Community building in DIY culture – powered by TRENCH.

From the underground up, we’ll explore how to independently grow online and offline networks – all with a do-it-yourself attitude. Host Laura ‘Hyperfrank’ Brosnan will discuss curating your audience, utilising the latest ideas, and reshaping what community in music looks like in 2025 with guests Joseph ‘JP’ Patterson (Complex UK/ TRENCH), Malika Ferguson (artist/ This Sounds Write) and Dom Heslop (SlamBarz). 

The Launchpad Conference returns for 2025… And it’s free!

The Launchpad Conference 2025 takes place on the 28th of March for a day of discussion, learning and networking, with speakers from the local music scene, and those working on a national and international level at Leeds School of Arts @ Leeds Beckett University City Campus.

A free day of panels, workshops, presentations and networking for those working in, supporting or aspiring to work in the music industry.

If you are involved in music at any level and hope to gain a better understanding of the music industry – as an artist, producer, manager, promoter, student, enthusiast or otherwise, come along to find out more from leading experts and professionals.
