2022 information

about

A2IM Indie Week is a four-day international conference and networking event aimed at maximizing the global impact of Independent music. Featuring keynotes, panels, exclusive networking sessions, and more, Indie Week has historically drawn an attendance of over 1200 participants from over 30 countries.

In response to COVID-19, we took Indie Week online in 2020 and 2021. Now we’re thrilled to announce that Indie Week 2022 will be in-person! For those still uncertain about travel, a virtual option will also be available.
