Gold Sponsor & Pre-Party Host WOMEN IN MUSIC 2017 in association with I have just received the 9th handwritten thank you from my table guests and realised I just have to write to you to say thank you for a truly inspiring day. I invited young women who inspire me and keep me thrilled about the future of our business and without fail, they have written to say that hearing women talk about their careers without overt feminism and with incredible stories, really inspired them all, reminded them to be brave and keeping going. Caryn Tomlinson SVP, Communications Universal Music Group Friday 10th November 2017 - The Brewery, London MEDIA PACK 2017
600+ guests 8+ categories 12 new additions to the Roll of Honour
About Women in Music We launched Women in Music in 2014 and we were overwhelmed by the reaction we received. Our aim was to shine the spotlight on some of the most inspirational and influential execs in the music business who just happened to be female. We also wanted to showcase the full range of roles that women were tackling within the business: highlighting how vital they are to the industry overall. The event has gone from strength to strength since its launch, with new categories and new supporters added every year. Music Week works with AIM, UK Music & WIN to put the event together, and we have succeeded in building a place for the music industry to gather and celebrate the most important and influential women from all sectors of this vibrant business. The fourth annual Women in Music event will take place on Friday 10th November at the Brewery in London. The new venue will allow us to accommodate up to 600 people, which will be welcomed after a sold-out event for 450 in 2016. This year, 12 new names will be added to the prestigious Roll of Honour, which now comprises 50+ amazing women from the Music industry. There will also be seven special category winners on the day: Outstanding Contribution, Business Woman of the Year, Inspirational Artist, New Artist, Campaigner, Media Pioneer and Rising Star. Women in Music 2017 is a celebratory event, which recognises the achievements of great careers and brilliant executives. We hope you will join us!

The Women in Music awards can help make that happen.
