What To Expect From 2025’s Night Time Economy Summit

What to expect from the Night Time Economy Summit

Kicking off the Night Time Economy Summit is the NTIA Empowering Women Brunch. Led by shesaid.so and The Network of Women In Events (NOWIE), the brunch will dive into the topic of empowering women in the nighttime economy. Last entry is at 10 am and tickets will become invalid after this time. 

Once the summit begins, Stage 1 is the place to be for established and up-and-coming promoters. Here, you’ll be able to watch panel discussions regarding nightlife advocacy and hear from respected international and national thought leaders who will discuss urban safety, economic sustainability and the impact of technology on the industry. 

Stage 2 is presented in collaboration with Defected Records with panels catered to the electronic music industry and discussing publishing trends, managing strategies and promotional techniques to help you and the acts you work with unlock greater success.

Perhaps the most notable change to the Night Time Economy Summit is Stage 3. On Day 1, panellists from around the world will discuss governance, innovation and how the nighttime economy can collaborate internationally. 

On Day 2, the stage will transform. For the first time ever, the Night Time Economy Summit will host a stage dedicated to Queer nightlife. Led by presenter, DJ and promoter Gok Wan and supported by Gay Times and Stonewall, the stage will act as a hub to discuss inclusivity and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community’s rich contribution to the tapestry of nightlife in the UK. 

The stage expands on the queer representation found at previous Night Time Economy Summit events. It’s a chance for established members of the LGBTQ+ nightlife community to make their voices heard and allow newcomers to connect with some of the scene’s leading lights.

But it’s not just nightlife on the agenda for 2025. Stage 4 will follow a similar pattern to Stage 3, with Day 1 playing host to the hospitality stage and showing the NTIA’s commitment to ensuring all members of the nighttime economy are represented and heard. On Day 2, the focus will shift to independent festivals and events, with panel discussions dedicated to finding pathways for these well-loved events to grow and expand their reach. 

As mentioned earlier, community building is at the heart of the Night Time Economy Summit, and guests like Sacha Lord, Carly Heath, Gok Wan, Professor Fiona Mesham and Tak Umazawa will return for 2025. This ensures that the summit will build on previous discussions; a chance to reflect on a year’s worth of events and carve out a direction for the year ahead.
