Women In Music Announces Mentorship Program And Annual Summit
by Tom Smithyman
Women In Music has announced several upcoming events stretching into January 2024.
The non-profit organization with a mission to advance the awareness, equality and diversity of women in the musical arts, recently kicked off its 2023 Fall Mentorship Program in partnership with Music Managers Forum U.S. The two-month program brings together a diverse group of mentees with established female artist management professionals acting as mentors in a historically overwhelmingly white male space.
The group also partnered with the All Things Go Music Festival last month, where the organization kicked off a Creator Summit with a party at the Eaton Hotel that brought together panelists, festival goers and WIM DC Members.
“We were so impressed with the team at All Things Go,” said WIM President Nicole Barsalona. “They’ve created a safe, inclusive environment for music fans and artists alike. What a joyous peek into the future of live music.”
Women in Music and She is the Music will co-host next Tuesday’s opening reception at Mondo NYC. WIM will present a panel on artist management entrepreneurship and Barsalona will moderate a panel on gender equity in music-tech. Mondo NYC will hold its annual business conference and live music showcase festival to empower artists and advance ideas in the dynamic music business and technology landscape.
The group has also announced its 4th Annual Women In Music Summit, which will take place virtually from January 17-19, 2024. Members can tune in virtually for educational and career development presentations, and in-person for networking events happening throughout various WIM chapters.
