African Music Business Roundtable 2025: Shaping The Future Of The Showbiz Industry

The African music industry is poised for a significant transformation, with genres like Afrobeats gaining global prominence. Despite facing various challenges, African artists such as Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido continue to headline stadiums and win awards worldwide, further cementing the industry's growing influence. To further accelerate this growth, the African Music Business Roundtable 2025 is scheduled to take place in the second quarter of 2025. This two-day event aims to tackle critical challenges within the African music ecosystem by developing practical solutions. It will bring together a diverse group of stakeholders, including industry leaders, policymakers, creatives, academics, and international partners, all focused on shaping the future of the industry. During a recent press conference in Lagos, Co-Founder and team lead Michael Odiong emphasized that the roundtable is not just a discussion forum but a call to action. "This roundtable is not a talk shop. It is a call to action for all stakeholders to come together, deliberate, and leave with clear strategies that will shape the future of African music," Odiong stated. The event is expected to foster collaboration, innovation, and sustainable growth in the African music industry.
