We are thrilled to announce that Davo van Peursen has been appointed to the prestigious global board of the ICMP. The board of the International Confederation of Music Publishers (ICMP) covers a wide range of music industry topics worldwide, representing not just Europe but all continents. It is truly an honor to be a part of this esteemed team and to contribute to global initiatives.
Being on the ICMP board allows us to stay informed about the latest developments in the music industry and actively participate in shaping its future. With the European elections this week, there is a significant focus on ensuring copyright protection for authors and publishers in the Euro-region. This is a crucial step in safeguarding the rights of creators, and we are pleased to be involved in these efforts.
The work of the ICMP board extends far beyond Europe, with similar developments happening around the world. By collaborating on a global scale, we can work towards a more sustainable and equitable music industry for all stakeholders. We look forward to contributing our expertise and perspectives to this important work and making a positive impact on the industry as a whole.
