UK Elevate Conference Brings Together Gospel and Christian Music Industry Leaders in London

The Elevate Conference, described as the UK's premier gathering for Christian and gospel music professionals, is scheduled for April 23, 2026, at King's House in London. The full-day event brings together artists, executives, producers, and other music industry professionals for a day of keynotes, panels, conversations, and networking.

The conference is presented by the Christian Music Alliance and the Gospel Music Industry Alliance, in partnership with CCLI, a licensing organization that serves churches and Christian music users worldwide.

Speakers include Jerub, Anu Omideyi, Shaurav D'Silva, and Alexandria Davila, among others. Organizers said the lineup reflects the diversity of the UK's Christian and gospel music scene, which has grown significantly in recent years.

Free tickets are available for industry professionals under 30, a policy designed to support emerging talent and ensure the next generation of music leaders has access to the event.

The Elevate Conference has become an important gathering point for the UK gospel music community, which includes a significant African and African Caribbean presence. Gospel music has deep roots in Black British church culture, and the conference reflects that heritage while also engaging with the broader Christian music industry.

The event comes at a time of growing international interest in UK gospel music. Artists from the UK have gained recognition in the United States and across Africa, and the conference aims to strengthen those connections.

Registration information is available through the Gospel Music Association's website.
