Sept. 30-Oct. 2, 2026!

Building Value Beyond Volume.

After years of steady growth, the Making Vinyl conferences have established themselves as the essential meeting point for professionals exploring the forces shaping the vinyl industry — from market dynamics and consumer behavior to advances in manufacturing and technology.

Today, vinyl is firmly positioned as a powerful force in the global physical music market. But as the industry matures, the conversation is shifting. Success is no longer measured by production numbers alone. The real opportunity now lies in creating long-term value through quality, innovation, sustainability, and stronger connections across the supply chain.

The theme of Making Vinyl Europe 2026 — “Building Value Beyond Volume” reflects this evolution. While demand remains strong, the next chapter of the industry will be defined by differentiation, efficiency, creativity, and a deeper understanding of the broader music ecosystem.

In recent editions, we expanded the program to highlight sustainability, design, and the cultural significance of vinyl alongside the technical and manufacturing expertise that built the industry. In 2026, we will continue that momentum by bringing together leaders from across the vinyl ecosystem — pressing plants, labels, mastering engineers, equipment manufacturers, designers, retailers, and innovators from adjacent industries.

Through a dynamic mix of panels, presentations, and interactive sessions, Making Vinyl Europe 2026 will create space for new ideas, meaningful collaboration, and strategies that strengthen the future of vinyl.
