Virtual Indie Week: Watch Now

A2IM Virtual Indie Week 2020: Start Watching (or Re-Watching) The Panels Now!

Thank you to the independent music community for making our first-ever, virtual A2IM Indie Week a success! While the move from IRL to virtual presented challenges, we were thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive responses that we received from our attendees via emails, phone calls, and our official Indie Week survey.

If you were unable to join us this year or if you were able to join us but wanted to re-watch any of the panels, now is your chance. Between now and the end of the year, we will be releasing two new videos per week on our official A2IM YouTube channel, A2IM Indie Week 2020 Playlist.

    This week’s videos include:

  1. Update from the Federal Government
    Senior Policy Analyst and Global Team Leader, Media & Entertainment Industries, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce Andrea DaSilva sits down with A2IM’s Senior Director, Member Services, and International Relations, Lisa Hresko to discuss the federal government’s resources for the music and entertainment industry.
  2. New Trends in Commercially Viable Placements
    What music are companies looking for? What are the music licensing trends for the new decade?

Check back here each week, or go directly to our Official A2IM YouTube Channel; Indie Week 2020 Playlist to see what’s new!
