The National Association of Record Industry Professional (NARIP) is the biggest music business network in the world, now reaching over 100,000+ around the world. Formed in 1998, NARIP brings together the brightest minds and leading innovators in the global record and music industries.
Created specifically for record industry professionals, NARIP promotes education, career advancement and good will among record executives. With an emphasis on becoming better informed and more effective, NARIP offers professional development opportunities, educational programs and seminars, the opportunity to meet and interact with peers, a job bank, a member resume database for employers, a mentor network, a newsletter and other services. Our purpose is to help you get connected and stay connected.
To qualify for membership, you must work at a major or independent label, record distributor, record marketing or personal management firm. Lawyers, publicists and consultants whose main client base is the record business are also welcome, as well as artist-owned labels. Headquartered in Los Angeles, the entertainment capital of the world, NARIP has chapters in New York, San Francisco, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia and London.
NARIP’s Mission
Our mission is to create access for YOU to the top experts in the music and record industries, many of whom are NARIP members and who have spoken at past NARIP events (see partial list below).
To access the top experts in the field NARIP organizes Music Supervisor Sessions (helping many members successfully market their music catalogs and secure placements), workshops, seminars, cocktail mixers and brunches.
NARIP membership gives you excellent return on investment, it pays to belong! Here are benefits you receive:
1. Access to a global network of professionals. NARIP maintains resource and contact lists for its members of top music attorneys, music supervisors, headhunters with a music industry specialization, British music and record execs, independent distributors, digital distributors, gaming resources for music placement, and more. Additional fee applies (NARIP members receive hefty discount).
2. Learn about the industry from top-shelf industry professionals who are experts in their respective fields such as marketing, law, artist development, producing, distribution (physical and digital), publicity, international marketing, new media, music supervision (film & TV, gaming, advertising and trailer) and many more.
3. Get the benefit of 20+ years of understanding through NARIP’s knowledge database.
4. Reduced cost for NARIP career strategy sessions and consulting from industry experts who are NARIP members and/or part of NARIP’s professional referral network.
We invite your suggestions for specific executives you’d like to hear from (or general types) and programming to meet your needs. Please call or email us at 818-769-7007 or email info AT narip DOT com.

Partial list of speakers from past NARIP events
NARIP’s mission is to create access for you to the top experts in the field like these who have spoken at past NARIP events. Please note that titles reflect the executive’s position at the last time he or she appeared (many have spoken on more than one occasion), and a number of execs have since moved up or out. Sadly, three of them have passed away: Paul Atkinson, Ian Copeland and Jon Bergen. May they rest in peace and be fondly remembered and deeply appreciated for all they have done for our exciting industry.
