YOUTH PRODUCTION NETWORK

From jungles to inner cities, deserts to townships, the Youth Production Network (YPN) is a global community of 
new generation leaders, using their creative and production skills to change the world.

YPN...a new era of inspiration!

Inspired by Nelson Mandela and launched in 2010, YPN was the first global support network for young leaders in the live music production industry. 


Celebrating 14 years of the Youth Production Network, we are now a global community of inspirational production change makers with a new post pandemic global mission...to answer Nelson Mandela's call to action to "amplify the voices of the unheard".
