What We Do To Drive Progress

As ERA, we work with partners across the sector towards Collaboration, Information and Solutions. Here are some of the ways we help to drive policy progress.

Creative Innovation Forum

Leadership through convening the hive-mind. 

Convening cross-sector, cross-party, multi-discipline expertise to candidly discuss solutions for a flourishing, future-forward creative tech sector.

Forging dialogue to understand and progress, together.

Co-hosting discussion and information forums, including all music industry stakeholders to navigate the future health and growth of a creator-first sector in new technical eras. Maximum opportunity, agile control, creative vitality.
