To kick off the Creators Summit and set the tone for an afternoon of connection, we’re launching a Group Speed Networking activation designed to welcome attendees into a low-pressure, high-energy environment. This structured format allows creators at all comfort levels to ease into networking while still making meaningful, purposeful connections.

Participants will rotate through small-group conversations organized by focus areas across the music ecosystem, giving them the opportunity to meet peers, exchange ideas, and identify potential collaborators. To help guide each group, Recording Academy Memphis Chapter Board Members will serve as lead conversationalists at each table, offering industry insights, answering questions about the Academy’s work, and sharing their own perspectives as creators and professionals.

This activation is all about building early momentum, breaking the ice, and ensuring every attendee feels anchored, welcomed, and ready to engage throughout the rest of the Summit.
