TuneCore and Believe are proud to sponsor and present the U.S. launch of Keychange during A2IM's Indie Week 2022. Taking place at the New York Law School throughout the week of June 13th, Keychange will host master classes and workshops with organizations such as EnterGain, Twitch, and YouTube.
By bringing together experts and resources from across all areas of the music industry, Keychange's presented programming aims to provide women and gender minorities access to the tools they need to grow their careers in order to increase their participation and representation in the music industry and ultimately achieve parity.
The barrier of entry for women and, the LBGTQ+, Black and ethnically diverse communities remain. Join us for a session around allyship, inclusion and accessibility within the music industry as we discuss how we can lean in and aid in the diversification of the future leaders of music and music-tech companies.

The topic of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) isn’t new. And it doesn’t require a big budget or a large HR or DEI team. When DEI is part of everyone’s job, organizations have access to larger candidate pools, a more committed workforce, and a richer set of perspectives contributing to problem solving and innovation. And all of that is good for every metric in your business.
Advancing workplace diversity, equity and inclusion is something everyone can contribute to, every day.
Join this interactive session to engage around simple, actionable DEI practices that everyone on your team from first time managers to founders can do to make a difference. (No RSVP required)

On this panel we will hear how EU and U.S. executives are implementing transformative leadership to build inclusive work environments. Each executive has faced professional and personal challenges such as exclusion or limitations to advancement based on gender or race, to working in the music industry and they have found ways to transcend those challenges. By focusing on what is possible and transforming their leadership style to provide support and resources for underrepresented groups, they have attempted to transcend the dominant culture to transform and create more inclusive and therefore, more productive, and safe work environments. Hear what these leaders are doing to create equity and level the playing field and what’s trending post-pandemic, and into a new world of music. (No RSVP required)
