Back to the Future - soundLINCS Conference 2017

FRIDAY 8TH SEPTEMBER 2017 9.00AM - 5.00PM THE SHOWROOM TRITTON ROAD LINCOLN LN6 7OY

THE CEO’S MESSAGE Great Scott! It’s time for the soundLINCS Conference again. We’ve all been working at 88 miles per hour the last few weeks to make sure that it’s an informative and beneficial day and that we can all go on a journey Back to the Future together!

So what’s in a name? Since the beginning of community music, we have seen a lot of spectacular ideas, development projects, organisations and individuals striving for inclusivity and spreading the benefits of music. We’ve also brainstormed and implemented hundreds of exciting plans and schemes for future progressions, always striving to find new and innovative ways to have the greatest possible impact.

With this in mind our Conference will be both reflective and predictive looking both backwards and forwards – including exclusive updates on research from the previous two years of our soundLINCS FundC programme and other projects, and bringing you together to consider ways to build or develop some of our existing opportunities.

This year we are delighted to welcome you to The Showroom in Lincoln. It’s a unique venue doing some fantastic work and should provide a fitting venue for the day.

As always we love for the Conference to provide the opportunity to get together with friends and colleagues old and new – including our newest member of the Core Team Katie! In the last few years our stakeholders and partners have become an integral part of our conferences and work, so we couldn’t miss the opportunity to have them here again and leading and being part of the exciting discussions and presentations today. We are once again fortunate to be joined today by a selection of our keen supporters and colleagues from the music, non-music and the academic sectors, some of whom will be sharing their fascinating research and insights throughout the day.

Every year soundLINCS (and myself) become more and more established as the elder statesmen of community music, especially with our 20th birthday coming up in 2018. As a result we’d love you to hear from someone who has as much experience and passion as we do, and our keynote speaker Pete Moser definitely ticks those boxes!

So clamber in, seatbelts on, make sure your engine is running and your flux capacitor is fluxing, and get ready to come Back to the Future with us with a voyage of reflection and discovery.

Very best wishes, Nikki-Kate Heyes MBE
