“I couldn’t be more excited for the AIMP Atlanta Chapter to be partnering with the MPC, MMF-US, SONA, and IMPF to put together our first AIMP and Friends | Creative and Business Summit here in Atlanta,” said Tony D. Alexander, AIMP Atlanta Chapter President and Co-Founder, President, and Managing Director at MIME. “When we first started putting this event together, we could have never imagined the amount of global interest and support, and I’m proud that we have the opportunity to promote the incredible work that the creative community is doing in the Atlanta region.”
“The AIMP’s Los Angeles, Nashville, and New York chapters are extremely proud and excited about the progress the AIMP Atlanta team has made during its inaugural year under the leadership of Tony Alexander and the Atlanta board,” said Michael Lau, AIMP National Chair and NY Chapter President. “Not only will The Creative and Business Summit put the AIMP Atlanta chapter on the map, it will reinforce the organization’s mission of educating and informing the music publishing community by bringing in and partnering with its sister organizations. We can’t wait to help them continue elevating the Atlanta music publishing community through this landmark event.”
“The MPC is proud to be partnering with the AIMP Atlanta Chapter to put together such an incredible event,” said Margaret McGuffin, CEO of MPC. “We can’t wait to bring songwriters and music publishers from Canada to Atlanta to showcase the immense number of business and creative opportunities they can take advantage of in this market. MPC would like to thank Ontario Creates, the Government of Canada, and FACTOR for their support in putting together this trade mission.
“MMF-US is so excited to help program and participate in the inaugural Creative and Business Summit,” said Sharon Tapper, Executive Director of MMF-US. “The Atlanta area has no shortage of incredible artists, artist managers, self-managed artists, songwriters, and music industry professionals. We look forward to providing attendees with pertinent and important information to help them navigate their careers now and long into the future.”
“IMPF is really pleased to join this inaugural independent music publishers trade visit to Atlanta, and we look forward very much to exploring the options for further collaboration with AIMP and MPC,” said Annettee Barrett, President, IMPF. “IMPF is grateful for European Union/Creative Europe financing and support which makes this trade visit possible for IMPF member companies.”

About AIMP
The Association of Independent Music Publishers (AIMP) was formed in 1977 and has local chapters in Los Angeles, New York, Nashville, and Atlanta. The organization’s primary focus is to educate and inform music publishers about the most current industry trends and practices by providing a forum for the discussion of the issues and problems confronting the music publishing industry. The opportunity to exchange ideas and opinions with others on issues of mutual concern is fostered by the atmosphere at the AIMP’s monthly meetings, forums, and workshops, the videos of which can be seen (along with more general info on the organization) at http://aimp.org.
