The WoN Summit program supports women working in the music products industry and their goals to connect, support, and grow their leadership and professional abilities. An annual leadership immersion experience will be offered with applicants receiving the educational experience covered by the awarded scholarship.

Up to 18 WoN Summit scholarships will be awarded. The two-day leadership summit includes an opening and closing reception, meals during the summit and travel to and from the hotel to NAMM headquarters. The estimated grant value is $7,000. 

Being selected to participate in the Women of NAMM Leadership Summit was a life-changing experience for me. I had the opportunity to network with inspiring women leaders in the music industry, learn from their insights and experiences, and develop new skills and strategies to advance my career. The summit also gave me a sense of belonging and empowerment, as I realized that I am not alone in facing the challenges and opportunities that come with being a woman in this field. I am grateful for this amazing opportunity and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to grow as a leader and a professional in the music industry.
