The MIDEM (International Record and Music Publishing Market) is THE major event for music and publishing professionals. But not only that: technology, advertising, and video games are also represented. They are an asset in the musical universe.
As every year for the past 44 years, it takes place at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes for three days. Initiated by Reed Midem (a company that fosters business convergence through international professional markets), the music event is happening this year from January 24 to 27.
MIDEM is also an opportunity to discover the talents of tomorrow through concerts and artist showcases.

MIDEM has also moved online
In parallel, the MidemNet has been held for 11 years. It is the meeting point for new technologies and new economic models in music. For the first time, it will be made freely accessible to all MIDEM participants. The Debussy auditorium will host several conferences bringing together the greatest experts.
