EVENTS
IMTF events are designed to create up-to-date knowledge on some of the music and art sector’s timely and critical issues, provide a space for lively and open discussion among like-minded peers, and enhance informed, strategic and rewarding giving to the field of music.
On demand, IMTF organises private, customised educational lectures, workshops and events featuring high-profile speakers and musicians. These events are designed primarily for individual philanthropists, bringing together small groups of donors wishing to actively develop their philanthropic work in music. The events offer a solicitation-free space in which to exchange ideas and best practices, explore common areas of interest, and develop synergies to maximize the impact of giving.
IMTF also organises public events that bring together diverse stakeholders to explore specific topics relevant to today's music sector with a view to stimulating open debate and building knowledge for informed actions, strategic philanthropy and policy-making.

The discussion served to provide insights into cultural advocacy and the ways in which local philanthropy – including the people, public and private sectors – contribute to the effort.
