Every resource our Horizon Future Leaders recommended, in one place

From guilds to grassroots communities, job boards to leadership programmes, here is a guide to everything the next generation of music industry leaders told us helped them develop their skills and progress in their careers

Every resource our Horizon Future Leaders recommended, in one place

Over the past 20 months we’ve been asking every guest in our Horizon Future Leaders series the same question: are there any specific internships, projects or initiatives you’d recommend to newcomers looking to pursue a similar role? 

Below is every resource our Future Leaders mentioned - organisations, communities, conferences, job boards, newsletters and guilds - pulled together in one place and organised by category. 

This is in no way exhaustive, and it’s not meant to be a ranking or an endorsement. But what it is is a comprehensive list of the resources that the next generation of music leaders have said actually helped them get where they are today. You can read all of the Horizon Future Leader Features here.
