The AFEM Promoter Good Practice Guide is a voluntary framework for independent and early career electronic music promoters, shaped by the collective insight of AFEM’s global membership.
Its 16 chapters follow the life of a show, and promoters who align with its principles can register for the AFEM Promoter Good Practice Registered mark.
Collabhouse pairs distribution with an AI Manager and a growth layer for independent artists and labels, and saw subscriptions rise fourfold in a single month.
