As part of the nonprofit's mission to educate, empower and advance women in the music industry, this year’s summit will highlight various panels offering diverse topics and perspectives from leading industry professionals including: SAMANTHA KIRBY, CHERYL PAGLIERANI, MARI DAVIES, JENNA GAUDIO, DANN LIEBERMANN, LESLIE POWELL, HEIDY VAQUERANO, CHRISTINE OSAZUWA, LAUREN SMITH BRODY, JULES KAMMANN, LEIGH MCCORKLE, ACACIA DIAZ, THEA RASKIN, BLAIR MILLER, TEMIMA SHAMES, CASSIE PETREY, SARI KOHEN, TARA BENDLER, MARIA GIRONAS, NEETA RAGOOWANSI, MOIRA McCARTHY, NICOLE BARSALONA and many more. 

This year’s summit will be presented virtually, as it has in years past, to allow global chapters and members equal access to the educational and career development content. Alongside executive programming, a focus on those entering the industry will include a career fair on day three, inspired by WOMEN IN MUSIC’s new collegiate expansion, the WIM MENTORSHIP PROGRAM and the WIM INTERNSHIP PROGRAM, the latter of which places diverse candidates into paid in-house industry internships at partner companies. 

Beyond industry-specific conversations, this year’s summit will explore workplace culture and community in 2023, with sessions highlighting data behind remote and hybrid models. A talk from author, founder and CEO of THE FIFTH TRIMESTER, LAUREN SMITH BRODY, aims to help parents navigate the “new normal” of virtual work. WIM members can register for free, and tickets are available for purchase to non-members here.
