PopOUT LA 2024 Recap

We were thrilled to sponsor the inaugural PopOUT LA, the first-ever LGBTQ+ music industry conference, which took place April 5 and 6. Over the two days, queer artists, producers, and music professionals gathered at the Los Angeles LGBT Center for insightful panel discussions, wonderful artist showcases, and a whole lot of community building. Our very own Arbel Bedak gave opening remarks on the first day and moderated a panel comprising a wonderful group of artists and professionals for a very intersectional conversation about queer community building in the music industry as well as everyone's experience in the industry through the lens of their other identities. We’d like to thank Lachi, Mal Blum, Maria Gironas, Jen Schwartz, and Rosie Howe for their wonderful conversations and insights! Other panels covered topics such as marketing and promotion, sync licensing, and royalty collection, to name a few. You can view the full itinerary from each day below.

Congratulations to the amazing organizers Gabi Kochlani and Cameron Ljungkull for putting on a hugely successful and impactful event, and we were honored to be part of it. We hope all attendees walked away feeling empowered, energized, and motivated, and we look forward to the next one!
