WELCOME

Thank you to everyone who supported IMIW

Welcome to London’s premier music industry trade event

The first International Music Industry Week is now over and has been hailed a huge success. An impressive line-up of speakers tackled subjects as diverse as synching and licensing through to how apps on mobiles are driving the industry forward. The ICA proved to be the perfect venue for such an event providing relaxing places for delegates and sponsors to network and do business as well great spaces to hold the conference and showcases. The venue really did reflect the tone of the event.

"The ICA is a perfect space for a future looking business event. This isn't your run of the mill 'trade show' - it's a smart, sophisticated networking experience in the cultural beating heart of London" Jack Horner, Creative Director, FRUKT Music

In the evenings a fantastic collection of bands entertained us, and keeping it all together, at times, was our compere - the hilarious Jeff Leach. Bands included Official Secrets Act, The Chapman Family, from Iceland Eliza, Call Me Laura, Conil, Gin Riots and a many more.

A big thank you to our sponsors
