Global Music Industry Advisory Board
In 2020 we formed the In Place of War Global Music Industry Advisory Board. Recognising the power of collaborating with the music and wider entertainment industry from the incredible success of our existing partnerships, we wanted to form a collective of engaged, enthusiastic, compassionate individuals to support and guide our work. In response to the pandemic, working with organisations like Beatport, Insomniac Events and Shambala, we raised £150k for our COVID Emergency Fund via fundraising live streams, providing grants to the change-makers in our network with the most urgent need. We know that, through collaboration and solidarity, the difference we can make to music communities in places of conflict, has far more impact. One of the most powerful ways of doing this is by establishing a worldwide movement of creative professionals who care about and want to contribute to positive change. So we have united leaders of the international music industry in supporting the work of In Place of War and have already begun some fantastic projects as a result.
