In honor of decades of success, the three anniversary parties will include award presentations, stellar performances and all-star guests.

The Nashville event will primarily focus on celebrating the chapter’s accomplishments over the past year, including the second AIMP Nashville Awards and the third AIMP Songwriter Series. The party will also feature presentations from SoundExchange, Pandora, and The Academy of Country Music.

In New York, Representative Jerrold Nadler will be awarded a 2017 New York Chapter Indie Award honoring his strong defense of music rights and music publishers in Congress. Downtown Music Publishing CEO Justin Kalifowitz will also receive the award for his leadership in Downtown Music Publishing’s growth, founding Songtrust and his work with New York Music Month.
