The EDI taskforce is pleased to invite you to a one-hour online roundtable in the context of European Diversity Month, with a focus on UK Music’s Black Music Means Business report.
To kick off European Diversity Month, IMPALA is launching its second Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) survey for the independent music sector. The aim of the IMPALA survey is to provide a snapshot of how the sector deals with these issues, the key challenges it faces, as well as an assessment of how businesses and associations assess their own diversity and gain an overview of best practices, local developments and projects in the field of EDI.
On Friday, 24th April, the European Commission published their UMG-Downtown deal approval decision. IMPALA welcome the publication and will be reviewing the decision to determine next steps and consider whether an appeal or other action is required.
This week in Brussels, IMPALA joined policymakers, cultural stakeholders, and experts at the European Commission’s conference on the discoverability of diverse European cultural content in the digital environment
IMPALA is the European organisation for independent music companies and national associations. The sector is made up of micro, small, medium businesses and self-releasing artists. They are world leaders in terms of innovation and discovering new music and artists. Independents account for more than 80% of all new releases in Europe and 80% of the sector’s jobs. More info…
