• Session 2: Using Data for Equitable Recovery 11:10am – 12:10pm

The capture of diversity, equality and inclusion data can be a very personal and sensitive topic, many funders including PRS Foundation, use data as a way of identifying gaps in music creator support and to find ways to break down barriers so that underrepresented talent can fulfil their potential and forge long-term successful careers. In this session, we’ll hear how organisations are integral to building a stronger, connected and more sustainable music community through authentic representation of the music creators they work with and how a better understanding of the people behind the organisation ensures better outcomes for all. Speakers:

Moderator, Yaw Owusu, Senior Manager, PRS Foundation, Abel Selocoe, Musician, Rich Legate, Artist Development Manager, Attitude is Everything, Hannah Richardson, Musician Cherym / Safe In Sound, Yvette Griffith, Co-Chief Exec & Executive Director, Jazz Refreshed

Followed by: Youth Music Soapbox

• Roundtable 2 (ZOOM) with breakout rooms 12:25pm – 1:25pm

Roundtables with funders and TDPs to follow on the discussion about what data is collected, why and how it’s used. We’d like to hear what’s working and what doesn’t for TDPs.
