StreamGM have partnered with Un-Convention - the renowned music event that brings together artists, professionals and organisations from the independent music sector.

The 106th Un-Convention will take place in person at the 02 Ritz in Manchester on the 8th and 9th July 2021.

 The two day conference will reflect on how the industry and music scenes have adapted, the lessons we have learnt over the last year, and how the sector can work together to ensure a brighter future.
