AIMP LA Chapter Young Professionals Committee Launches Pub Pals Peer-To-Peer Networking Programs on the latest hot topics.

YPC (Young Professional Committee) is geared towards Music Business Professionals under the age of 40, but all ages are welcome!

October 29, 2024 (Los Angeles, CA) –

The Young Professionals Committee (YPC) of the Los Angeles Chapter of the Association of Independent Music Publishers (AIMP) has announced the launch of their peer-to-peer networking program, Pub Pals. The new initiative aims to empower young professionals in the independent music publishing industry by helping them build meaningful relationships, collaborate with peers, and grow their careers. There is no cost to join the program, and participants do not need to be AIMP members to join, but they should be working in or have an interest in music publishing. Those interested in applying to be a part of the Pub Pals program can apply here

As part of the Pub Pals program, each ‘Pal’ will be paired with another participant and encouraged to get to know one another through shared interests, skills, specialties, career aspirations, and more. The program will provide young music professionals with an open and welcoming space to share insights and experiences as they navigate the challenges and opportunities of the industry together, create and maintain life-long connections, foster a supportive and tight-knit community, and empower the next generation of independent music publishing leaders and executives. 

“We all know and understand the importance of strong relationships in our business, and as young professionals, we’re constantly seeking opportunities to expand our network and create long-lasting connections,” said Gabi Cote, Chair of the AIMP LA Chapter Young Professionals Committee. “The YPC built this program with the intention of creating a space for our generation of independent music publishers – a space to establish those essential connections while taking the time to empower each other as we navigate our careers. I can’t wait to see the vibrant community our generation will develop through Pub Pals for years to come.” 

“The entire AIMP LA Chapter Board of Directors couldn’t be more proud of the work Gabi and the YPC steering committee has done in such a short time with our Young Professionals Committee, and now with the development and launch of the Pub Pals program,” said Marc Caruso, AIMP LA Chapter President. “We’re excited to see how young professionals in the Los Angeles music industry take advantage of Pub Pals to build connections, collaborate with each other, and so much more.” 

In addition to the launch of Pub Pals, the AIMP LA Chapter YPC will host their first Seasonal Soirée on Tuesday, November 12th, at Position Music in Burbank, CA from 6-9pm PT. The event will offer LA’s young music publishers and industry enthusiasts the chance to mix and connect with each other, explore potential collaborations, and more. Beverages and snacks will be provided courtesy of the event’s sponsors Universal Pictures Film Music, ASCAP, and Kobalt. Space for the Seasonal Soirée is limited, and an RSVP is required to attend.

Those interested can RSVP for free here.
