Women In Music Celebrates An Inspiring Third Annual Educational Summit In Boston

The 501(c)3 non-profit organization Women In Music recently wrapped its third annual educational Summit, which took place online from January 25-27 with in person activations in their Nashville, Chicago, Boston, and Denver chapters.

Throughout the three days online, over 1,000 attendees tuned in from across the globe to hear from experts in topics and industries ranging from: global data trends in music, marketing trends, securing a publishing deal to diversify revenue streams, publishing, analytics, artist representation, agents, human resources, workplace development, DEI, digital media, global advancement, personal branding, best practices for career pivots, artist and team management, tour promotion, and workplace culture, digital media strategies and more.

Their Career Fair included representation from not only the United States, but Algeria, Australia, Belgium, Botswana, Bulgaria, Canada, Dominican Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Panama, South Africa, Tanzania, Trinidad & Tobago, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.

"This year's Summit featured some of the top industry leaders sharing insights, but it also made space for members to come together informally to discuss vulnerable topics like layoffs, career shifts, and goals for the future. The WIM community was so engaged across all three days, with attendees from around the world, and it just reinforced the magic that takes place when we come together to learn, connect and support one another." - Women In Music President, Nicole Barsalona
