WOMEN CREATE MUSIC
Convention
25 October 2026
BASF Gesellschaftshaus, Ludwigshafen
Time: 2 PM - 9 PM
Where female music creators and industry leaders meet.
The Women Create Music Convention is where artists, songwriters, producers and music business professionals come together with the women shaping today’s music industry—for a day of inspiration, exchange and genuine connection.
Meet leading voices from Universal Music, Warner Music, Sony Music, Popakademie Baden-Württemberg and many more. Join inspiring keynotes, hands-on sessions and honest conversations, discover fresh perspectives, exchange ideas and connect with people who could become your next collaborator, mentor, business partner or champion.
Whether you’re writing your first songs, producing your next release, developing your artist project, growing your network or already established in the industry, you’ll find a community that welcomes every stage of the journey. Different experiences, different perspectives and a shared passion for music are what make Women Create Music unique.
The Convention is designed to create opportunities that extend beyond the event itself. Apply for a slot on the Talent Stage, pitch your music directly to industry professionals, receive valuable feedback, connect with organizations such as Music Women* Hessen, musicRLPwomen*, Music Family Hub, Bandsupport Mannheim and many more, and become part of a growing network of female creators and industry leaders.
Women Create Music is built on a simple idea: supporting female music creators requires more than a single event—it takes lasting connections, shared knowledge and real opportunities.
We’re building a long-term platform dedicated to strengthening female talent across the entire music ecosystem. We believe that knowledge grows when it is shared, careers develop through meaningful relationships, and the music industry becomes stronger when female creators can connect with the people, organizations and networks that help shape it.
Women Create Music is not about one-off initiatives or symbolic conversations. It is about creating a space where ideas become collaborations, introductions grow into long-term partnerships and a single conversation can open the door to what comes next.
Join the Convention
We want as many female* music creators as possible to join us — across different ages, backgrounds and stages of their careers.
With the support of our partners, we're able to offer tickets at a special low price, making the Women Create Music Convention accessible to even more female* music creators.
