Resource: Online music industry webinars, panels, workshops and more
Just read about that online artist development workshop only to find it’s already over? Or perhaps you’re keen to up-skill amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Music Business Association, the non-profit membership organisation for music commerce, has a music industry resource just for you.
The company has provided a free, central listing resource which aggregates a tonne of virtual panels, workshops, webinars, keynotes, interviews, and masterclasses in one excel sheet document.
The resource was tweeted online by US-based music industry tech writer, researcher and advisor, Cherie Hu.
