The ABO's primary event each year is its annual conference, the major gathering of the classical music industry in the UK, with over 300 delegates drawn from orchestras both from within the UK and abroad, plus funding agencies, venues, agents, publishers and suppliers.
To support new voices, we offer special discounted rates for students exploring opportunities in the orchestral sector and delegates under 30 attending the conference for the first time. The ABO also offers professional musicians reduced ticket prices.
Details about discounted tickets will be available on this page when booking for the 2027 conference opens.
Please note: We are aware of some suspicious emails reaching our members pretending to offer delegate and sponsor registration for the conference. These are not associated with the ABO and should not be trusted. All details regarding the conference will be shared directly by the ABO via our usual communications, our website, or our trusted digital partners. If you are in doubt, please check our website directly (https://www.abo.org.uk) or contact us on info@abo.org.uk.
