State of the Independent Nation
The Global Independent Nation is an army of music companies across the world dedicated to the discovery of new artists and new genres. This panel will explore the excitement and freedom of being an indie, and address the opportunities and challenges for the sector at a global level. Challenges include how to achieve sustainable independence, how to succeed in a global marketplace, how to use the trade association network to best commercial advantage and how to use the community WIN has built.
