4:00 pm - 5:00 pm Gramercy Park Suite:
Women in Music Open Forum: Presented by Women in Music: Women are still far from achieving gender parity in the music industry. Increasing amounts of women are working and taking on leadership roles in the music industry, yet so few hold upper management positions and the final decision making power to guide the industry's future. Numerous studies have shown that businesses experience greater success when women are involved in the strategy development and decision-making at the top levels of an industry. At this crucial time, amidst so much transition, it is not only imperative that a woman's voice be heard but that she be in the position of power to make positive improvements. But how do we get there? How do increasing amounts of women in music gain confidence in their own power to be leaders and take on the challenge? What skills do women need to advance this cause? And, what can the industry do as a whole to accelerate gender parity?
This meeting will be presented in a "town hall"fashion, which will allow the audience to provide their thoughts, opinions, suggestions, and solutions for a brighter future for women in the music industry.
Players: Diana Akin (Senior Coordinator, Writer-Publisher, SESAC), Neeta Ragoowansi (President, Women In Music)

Touring & Artist Development: As live performance increases in importance relative to record sales, concert promoters have become a bigger part of artist development than ever before. They invest in artists on tour; buying radio, print and online advertising that works to increase awareness of the artists.

Independent Labels: The independent labels became organized 10 years ago with the founding of A2iM. A few years later, Merlin was founded. Independent labels control 35% of sales market share, and of streaming market share, probably more than that. As we enter Indie Week, we ask why independent labels continue to grow market share each year? Why are independent labels responsible for the birth of every new genre and a disproportionate share of the most important artists in history? Why might independent labels be a better choice for artists than majors?
