Women In Music & Entertainment will give women (and men!) working in the music and entertainment business the opportunity to hear from some of the industry's most successful and influential women, discussing how they made it to the top and the challenges they faced along the way.
****AIM is now pleased to add Harriet Harman to the already stellar line-up of speakers for the evening. As Deputy Leader of the Labour Party and Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Harriet has long been a campaigner for equality and human rights.****
The event will begin with opening remarks from AIM Chairman and CEO Alison Wenham, who's many years supporting the independent music industry recently earned her an OBE. This will be followed by a keynote speech from 2Point9/Jayded Records founder Billy Grant, who contributed to the development of the Equality and Diversity Charter for Music, signed by the music industry this week.
The first interview of the evening will see The Guardian's Helienne Lindvall in conversation with Krissi Murison, Editor of NME. Taking the magazine’s helm in 2009, Krissi was NME’s first female editor in its 57-year history. This will be followed by an interview with Annie Nightingale MBE, best known as Britain’s first female DJ on Radio 1 and currently the only female DJ in the world to have been honoured with an MBE by the Queen.
The evening’s talks will conclude with a panel discussion entitled “Gender Inequality in the Board Room”, with panellists exploring the bigger picture of lack of equality at Board level in the music industry and beyond. Panellists will include:
Helena Morrissey CBE, CEO, Newton Investment Management
Alison Small, Chair, Women in Film & Television
