Annual Performer Meeting (APM) 2024
Our Annual Performer Meeting (APM) will include the election of the Performer Directors who represent performers on PPL’s Board. We’ll be sharing updates on PPL’s collection and distribution of performer income for the last 12 months and taking a look at the company’s activities and plans going forward. We’ll also be hosting a live Q&A session.Who should be our Performer Directors?
Since 2022, we’ve paid £481.7 million to hundreds of thousands of performers. This is a chance for our performer members to make their voices heard and influence what these elected representatives can do for them.
