All That Matters (ATM)
, Asia’s premier business festival for the global entertainment and media industries, returns this year as part of a six-day celebration from 26 September to 1 October 2025 at the Hilton Singapore Orchard.

The festivities begin with Music Matters Live from 26 to 1 October, leading into All That Matters from 29 September to 1 October. Coinciding with Singapore F1 Week, ATM marks 20 years of shaping Asia’s cultural, creative and commercial landscape this year.

Launched in 2006 as Music Matters in Hong Kong, All That Matters has evolved into a one-of-a-kind platform where industries converge and the future of pop culture is defined. This year’s theme, Back to the Future, pays tribute to the enduring power of human creativity while diving into the transformative impact of AI, fandom, tech and innovation on entertainment.

In 2024, the event welcomed over 2,000 attendees and 150 speakers. This year, ATM features seven tracks: Music Matters, Sports Matters, Gaming Matters, Marketing Matters, Web3 Matters, Content Matters, and the Music Matters and Sports Matters Academies.

“When we started this journey 20 years ago, we had no idea that All That Matters would grow into Asia’s most dynamic convergence of entertainment and business,” said Jasper Donat, CEO and Co-Founder of Branded.

All That Matters has become a front-row seat to the evolution of pop culture, technology and creative entrepreneurship in Asia and beyond. This year, we’re not only honouring our history but challenging ourselves and our community to shape what’s next.”

All That Matters breaks down silos between industries, encouraging bold new ideas and unexpected collaborations:

Music Matters will focus on AI, publishing, streaming, artist management, sustainability, touring and Web3. A free-entry music festival will take over multiple venues across Singapore, in partnership with CQ @ Clarke Quay. The festival will host 42+ global emerging artists.

Sports Matters covers OTT*, sports tech, women’s sport, live events, fan building, and sponsorship.

Gaming Matters will discuss the Metaverse, brand safety, live gaming, play-to-earn, and player wellbeing.

Marketing Matters is about purpose-driven marketing, sustainability, diversity, and brand creativity.

Content Matters topics include the creator economy, monetisation, branded content, platforms and intellectual property (IP).
