SUMMARY:Collaboration is key: How independent labels drive artist success

SUMMARY:Live plays\, real income
DESCRIPTION:When your music is played live – whether by you\, a DJ\, or another performer – you could be earning royalties. One gig can be worth more than 30\,000 Spotify streams. \nThis session will show you how to claim these royalties. We’ll explain how to report setlists\, register with the right collection societies\, and use music recognition tools to track plays at clubs and festivals. \nThis could be the most lucrative session you attend. If you’re the songwriter\, you’re owed the money. \nModerator: George Myzalis (GR)

SUMMARY:Opening borders\, opening markets: Live music in transition
DESCRIPTION:With Romania and Bulgaria’s partial entry into the Schengen Area in 2024\, cross-border mobility in parts of Eastern Europe has improved. This shift brings new potential for the live music sector across the Balkans\, the Middle East\, and Schengen’s eastern edge to attract foreign investment as a way to strengthen local music scenes and infrastructure. \nThis session brings together venue bookers\, festival organisers\, and showcase curators to examine what’s missing for these regions to become recognised live music destinations. \nAimed at bookers\, DIY artists\, and promoters\, the discussion will focus on benchmarking infrastructure\, identifying local gaps\, and connecting grassroots activity with professional circuits to support a more sustainable and internationally visible live music ecosystem. \nPowered by FOMC (Federation of Music Conferences) \nModerator: Federico Rasetti

SUMMARY:The future of live music: Will technology fill the crowd or steal the show?
DESCRIPTION:With AI\, VR\, and AR pushing the boundaries of entertainment\, live music faces a crucial challenge. Can innovation support rather than diminish the human connection that makes gigs\, tours\, and festivals memorable? AI-generated performances\, holographic artists\, and virtual sets are gaining traction\, raising questions about the future role of physical venues and festivals. Will immersive tech draw larger crowds to real-world events or shift attention to digital alternatives? Beyond the hype\, do fans still crave the energy of a live set or is convenience taking over?\nThis session challenges the idea of tech as a disruptor and explores its potential to support and enrich live music. We’ll hear how promoters\, agents\, tour managers\, and venue operators adapt\, using tools\, not trends\, to keep real performance at the heart of it all. \nPowered by FOMC (Federation of Music Conferences)\nModerator: Mandy Salem-Aubry
