Music Policy Forum: King County 2025

Music Policy Forum is bringing its annual conference to Seattle in partnership with KEXP, King County, and Campfire Music Foundation. Join us in creating a dedicated space for connection, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas that will shape the future of our music ecosystem.

2021 Music Policy Forum Intensive

2020 was a year of resilience and reflection for the music community. As we head into the new year we invite you to join our community of musicians, public officials, activists, industry leaders, researchers and non-profit leaders in a hyper-pragmatic exploration of WHAT THE F... WE ARE DOING IN 2021.

REOPEN EVERy Venue Safely

Aligning the interests of live music stakeholders to fulfill a shared purpose.

Nineteen long months ago we launched the Reopen Every Venue Safely (REVS) initiative – an international cohort of pilot cities working in real time to prepare to reopen live music as quickly and safely as possible when the science allows. For better or for worse, music has reopened and it is time to sunset the cohort as MPF broadens our focus to the many issues related to building stronger, more resilient and more equitable music ecosystems. Of course we are not ignoring the ongoing complexities of reopening or the amazing network of collaborators that have come together through REVS – we are just moving to the next stage of work.
