  • The International Indie Summit
    The place where indies can learn from each other, discussing issues, sharing solutions, and meeting people who can help them grow their business.
  • The International Manager Summit
    With the artist being more central than ever to the business, the manager’s role is becoming ever more complex. We invite every manager to learn how to turn these changes into opportunity.
  • Images & Brands
    Music is an increasingly important part of brand strategy, while brands are providing the music industry with significant business opportunities. Specialised sessions explored how to build more bridges between the brand and music worlds. Listen to those directly involved in movie and video game music and learn how to make the most of these promising opportunities. Beyond conferences, special sessions include:
    • Listening Sessions
      Three distinct chances to get your music played in front of image experts and considered for placement in the next hot game, TV show or advertisement! Full session and submission details here...
    • Music Marketing Forum (by invitation only, in association with Next Big Thing)
      A brand new round table uniting a hand-picked panel of key figures from the brands, advertising and music worlds, all actively involved in their daily role in further writing the relationship between music and brands. These experts discuss and work altogether on carefully selected issues with regards to music and brands, which currently represent huge opportunities to ensure an expanding and fruitful relationship between these two worlds. A summary report with key outcomes is communicated to MIDEM delegates afterwards.
