AudioUK has partnered with the Entry Level Audio Network (ELAN) and Black Audio Network to host the Pre-Audio Production Awards Mixer: a relaxed, friendly space for anyone who would appreciate a few familiar faces before the evening begins.

Join us at the BFI on the 26th November 2026 from 5pm to meet fellow attendees, make connections and ease into the awards setting. Whether it’s your first APAs, you’re building your industry network or you’d prefer a quieter start to the evening, you’re very welcome. You don’t need to identify as entry level, the mixer is open to all ages and experience levels. Mixer tickets are free, but you must show a valid Audio Production Awards ticket for entry. Book your free mixer place here.

We want more people in our audio community to be able to join the celebrations. If the cost of a ticket would prevent you from attending, our Pay What You Can scheme, kindly sponsored by Amazon Music, offers a more accessible way to be part of the APAs. A limited number of tickets are available on a first come, first served basis. To enquire about a Pay What You Can ticket, email Mileta via hello@theapas.co.uk.
