Organization Change From IMF To MMF

December, 1999

You may have noticed a change to the name of our organization. During the recent MMF International Executive Council meeting at MIDEM, some members related problems with people confusing us with the International Monetary Fund. While this might seem unlikely, several members attended meetings with music managers and industry personnel in Southeast Asia and Brazil, where the organization’s initials elicited quizzical stares. In addition, some affiliates cannot locally register any name with “International” in the title. Therefore, each international affiliate will now be known as the Music Managers Forum-_______, affiliated with the International Music Managers Forum.
