Connecting independent artists and industry pros.

Ditto X is the UK’s biggest music industry networking event. An unmissable day in London designed to put independent artists and aspiring music pros in the same room as people working in the industry.

Our Feedback Sessions put your tracks in front of radio DJs and tastemakers face-to-face. The panels demystify how songs get on playlists, on radio and into films. And the Industry Market gives you hundreds of warm introductions in a single afternoon.

Past years have featured guests from BBC Radio 1, Spotify, Sky, ITV Studios, Vevo, YouTube, TikTok, Amazon Music, Netflix and Rolling Stone. Grab your tickets now, and we'll see you in November!
