Music News - Going Global Music Summit First NZ Event To Sign Keychange Pledge
30 August 2018 - 0 Comments
Independent Music NZ is proud to announce the now sold out Going Global Music Summit is the first New Zealand event to take place having signed the global pledge, Keychange, promoting gender equality across the music industry.
Now in its seventh year, the Going Global Music Summit has once again sold out before over 30 international delegates make their way to NZ to share their knowledge and expertise and learn about the New Zealand music scene in a two day event held at Roundhead Studios in Auckland. Full list of all speakers available here: http://www.goingglobal.co.nz/
The sold out music conference culminates in a showcase, Going Global Presents, of 13 of the freshest and most potent musical acts from the NZ scene for not only international speakers and Going Global summit delegates but also open to the public. Tickets are available to the public for $20 from undertheradar.co.nz
In a fresh move, IMNZ along with NZ Music Commission enter into the 2018 Going Global Music Summit having signed the Keychange pledge. This international campaign invests in emerging female talent whilst encouraging industry conferences and festivals to sign up to a 50:50 gender balance pledge by 2022. Since the early 2017 inception, over 110 festivals and conferences from all over the world have signed up to the pledge making Keychange a movement for positive change.
Although previous years’ Going Global Music Summit and Presents showcase lineups have operated at a gender equal level, the significance of aligning with the global initiative was cemented this week by the signing of the Keychange Pledge.
Dylan Pellettfrom Independent Music NZ elaborates, “Keychange is a brilliant initiative that gives conferences and festivals a way to show they are committed to attaining, or continuing, to hold places for equally loud voices. Signing up to the pledge shows Going Global’s commitment for upholding our values to have equal gender representation.”
Francine Gorman from Keychange - PRS Foundation responded to the commitment saying, “Fantastic to hear about the events that you're working on, and that you're already reaching the 50/50 target laid out in the Keychange Pledge. It's great for us to have summits such as yours on board, as models of events that are already achieving balance within their programming - which very much helps us to encourage others to do the same.”
