Music Week launched “Women in Music” in 2014, and we were overwhelmed by the reaction we received. Our aim was - and remains - to shine a spotlight on some of the most inspirational and influential execs in the music business – who just happen to be female.
We also wanted to showcase the full range of roles that women were tackling within the business, highlighting how vital they are to the industry overall. The event has gone from strength to strength since its launch, with new categories and new supporters added every year.
The Music Week team works with our Founding Committee, The Association of Independent Music, and UK Music to put the event together, and we have succeeded in building a place for the music industry to gather and celebrate the most important and influential women and female-identifying individuals from all sectors of this vibrant business.
