As we reflect on the stories shaping the audio, music, broadcast and film technology sectors this month, one thing stands out: the continued resilience and creativity across the industry. Despite ongoing challenges for international businesses, new products are launching, partnerships are strengthening, and organisations are continuing to invest in people, ideas and innovation. Our lead story highlights how NAMM members came together in Washington to advocate for greater access to music education, reinforcing the industry’s collective commitment to supporting future talent and protecting the pipeline of skills that underpins its long-term growth.
