IQ is the essential magazine for the international live music business. A natural extension of the ILMC, it presents news, features, information and analysis to conference delegates and the wider industry at large. While the ILMC provides an annual platform for vital discussion and debate, IQ provides a year-round focus on emerging trends and crucial business news.

IQ is circulated to nearly 4,000 individuals in over 60 countries. This core readership includes the leading innovators and companies in concert and show promotion, talent booking and festival organisation. The journal covers every relevant sector of the live music business; from the commercial world of venue operators and artist managers to publicly-funded national and international music development agencies.

Breaking the mould of traditional industry publications, IQ generates constant and lively feedback about the articles and issues it raises. Through both the print and online, the magazine is an interactive title, representing, reporting and reflecting the concerns of its readership. By providing valuable input for the ILMC itself, IQ is truly a magazine for the industry, by the industry.

IQ is a free publication posted to the membership of the ILMC and other live music professionals, as well as key record company heads, radio, TV and relevant cultural bodies. With a readership of over 10,000, IQ is the only journal of its type.
