WIN, the global network of independent music trade associations, has released its 2020-21 Annual Report. It provides an overview of its activities in a challenging year, demonstrating the value that WIN delivers to the independent music community.
WIN connects, supports and develops independent music trade associations globally. It brings together 32 associations in 36 countries throughout Australasia, Asia, Europe, North and South America, representing thousands of music companies and professionals worldwide.
The report shows the work of the organisation to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on the independent community. WIN has provided much needed support to the network of associations, publishing and sharing resources, as well as collecting and analysing data and insights about the sector.
At a time when unity and collective strength were paramount, WIN continued to represent the interests of independents in international industry forums and initiatives, while fostering its own regional networks and working groups.
