AN EVOLUTION TOWARDS MODERNITY
Over the years, MIDEM has transformed, becoming not only an essential business meeting place but also a space for thinking about the evolution of the music industry and for presenting the latest technological innovations. The evening concerts also enriched the program, making MIDEM a complete event combining business and entertainment.
THE EDITION OF THE RISE OF LIVE MUSIC AND THE EXPORT OF FRENCH ARTISTS
