# Event Details - **Event Name**: DAY 2: AMW26 - MADE IN THE NORTH EAST (THE FIRESIDE CHAT & NETWORKING) - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm – Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: The Big Gathering. Aberdeen's Music Community, all in one room. Live & In Person. Fireside Chats. Panels. Roundtables. Listening Lounge.About this EventThe North East of Scotland has always produced exceptional music. Aberdeen Music Week 2026 asks what happens when a region decides that is not enough, and starts building the conditions for that music to grow, travel and help transform an economy.Day 2 of AMW26 is a full programme of fireside panel conversations, attendee-led roundtable discussions and a listening lounge, brought together under the title Made in the North East: Music, Place and Creative Economy. It is a day designed not to celebrate what the North East creative sector already is, but to have an honest, ambitious and actionable conversation about what it is becoming, and what it needs to get there.The programme is underpinned by six priorities that define the sector's development agenda:Building a Sustainable Creative City - Investment in Creative Infrastructure and Independent BusinessesMusic as a Catalyst for Aberdeen's economic diversification beyond energy From the Bedroom to Backstage: Strengthening Talent PathwaysThe Business of Being Heard Today: Likes, Streams, AI & the Future of OwnershipInternational Touring, Partnerships, & CollaborationWhat does the North East need next? Regional Challenges and OpportunitiesThe room will bring together artists and creative practitioners, music industry professionals, policy makers, funders, students and international delegates, a deliberately mixed group, because the best conversations about the future of a creative economy happen when every part of that economy is in the room together.This is a thought leadership day. It is also a working day, the roundtables and listening lounge are designed to take the conversations off the stage and into the hands of everyone in the room.The UK's creative industries contribute £145.8bn to the national economy and are growing faster than any other sector. Aberdeen sits at a pivotal economic moment, transitioning beyond its energy identity toward a more diversified future.The question this day is asking is direct: what role does music and the creative economy play in that transition, and what decisions need to be made to make that role as significant as it should be?Panels begin at 4:00pm. Places are limited.AMW26 Day 2 is delivered in partnership with Aberdeen Inspired, Belmont Cinema, PRS Foundation, Sports Aberdeen, Urbane Media, Lime Reserve, and Captain Toms. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/26538e50-a438-11f1-9988-bfc638c33a5a-rimg-w592-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/aberdeen/day-2-amw26-made-in-the-north-east-the-fireside-chat-and-networking/100001993569695625 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Entertainment, Music, Sports - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 5 hours - Location: The Lime Reserve, Serviced Offices, Meeting & Training Spaces - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Aberdeen - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Lime Reserve, Serviced Offices, Meeting & Training Spaces - **lat**: 57.145623 - **long**: -2.0834434 - **full address**: The Lime Reserve, Serviced Offices, Meeting & Training Spaces, 37 Waterloo Quay, Aberdeen, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: DAY 2: AMW26 - MADE IN THE NORTH EAST (THE FIRESIDE CHAT & NETWORKING) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/18e3f014718ecf299db4e5079a986c846e53691a720c27d25e5b6e017e19d26e-rimg-w1200-h675-dc180818-gmir.jpg?v=1786313887 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is DAY 2: AMW26 - MADE IN THE NORTH EAST (THE FIRESIDE CHAT & NETWORKING) being held? - **A:** DAY 2: AMW26 - MADE IN THE NORTH EAST (THE FIRESIDE CHAT & NETWORKING) takes place on Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm to Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm at The Lime Reserve, Serviced Offices, Meeting & Training Spaces, 37 Waterloo Quay, Aberdeen, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing DAY 2: AMW26 - MADE IN THE NORTH EAST (THE FIRESIDE CHAT & NETWORKING)? - **A:** DAY 2: AMW26 - MADE IN THE NORTH EAST (THE FIRESIDE CHAT & NETWORKING) is organized by Aberdeen Music Week. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
