Spearheaded and curated by music executive Christine Osazuwa – the event is now in its fourth year and consistently features majority-minority speakers, attendees, and project participants in terms of both gender and race. Measure of Music makes it a priority to compensate all speakers and weekend support staff, reinforcing its commitment to equity and the value we place on everyone's time and contributions. The event is also free of charge to all those who want to attend. To register, please visit this link.  

“Watching both Measure of Music both grow as an event and year-round as a community has been such an incredible experience. The amount of support we have received from speakers, partners, and sponsors shows that the music business can show up in ways it previously has not,” says Osazuwa. “Our 2024 edition will bring new additions to MoM – but diversity, mentorship, music & data will always remain core,” Christine adds. 

Measure of Music is presented by Audiense and supported by BandLab, The Orchard Chartmetric, jump.global, Luminate, The MLC, ONErpm, and Songkick. The Career Fair is sponsored by Jobs by ROSTR and the in-person location sponsors include Drexel University in Philadelphia and BMAT Music Innovators in Barcelona.
