SUMMARY:From Pulp Fiction to Fortnite: Getting your music into films and games

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

SUMMARY:Strategy as a creative process: For people who hate planning but need results
DESCRIPTION:Many creatives experience a genuine mental block when it comes to strategic planning. They might do a better job with a plan\, but they find the planning process itself tedious\, restrictive\, or overwhelming. Traditional strategic planning often feels too rigid and formal\, disconnected from the creative process\, and full of business jargon and frameworks. \nIf this resonates with you – you’re not alone – this contradiction is common among creative professionals. This workshop transforms the painful process of strategic planning into a creative experience that doesn’t feel like a boring chore but is rather an extension of the creative process. \nPowered by SAE Athens

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:Sustaining DJ careers: Local realities & global ambitions

SUMMARY:The ‘Taylor’s Version’ strategy: Re-recording music albums
DESCRIPTION:Swift’s move to re-record and re-release her albums\, labelling them as ‘Taylor’s Version’\, seems to have paved the way for a change in the world of music. On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean\, Taylor Swift regained control of her creative work\, meaning not only of her musical works but also of the master recordings. Although there is an interesting backstory explaining Taylor Swift’s decision\, in this presentation\, we focus on the legal grounds that made it possible. Copyright\, licensing\, and commercial transactions form an exciting world\, and this case confirms it. \nPowered by the Hellenic Copyright Organisation\nPresenter: Maria Daphne Papadopoulou

SUMMARY:Fair remuneration of copyright and related rightsholders over musical works: The landfill of buyout practices
DESCRIPTION:EU and national law recognise the principle of fair and appropriate remuneration for both authors and performers\, establishing this as an equal level of high protection and a core principle of copyright and related–rights law. However\, the ongoing and emerging trend of buyout agreements\, the unilateral enforcement of buyout clauses\, and related practices undermine the rule of law and threaten the continued creation of music.\nAs the digital era gives way to the age of AI\, we increasingly hear the voices of authors and performers calling for concrete protective measures. This presentation will explore the impact of buyouts with the aim of highlighting current challenges and amplifying the need for reform. \nPowered by the Hellenic Copyright Organisation

SUMMARY:Found or forgotten? How artists can be discovered
DESCRIPTION:Getting noticed is tough. With 120\,000 tracks uploaded every day\, artists face huge competition. Algorithms play a part\, but human tastemakers such as playlist editors\, bookers and curators still help decide what gets heard. \nThis session shares practical ways to improve your chances. We will examine playlist pitching\, metadata\, release timing\, and how to get in front of the people who make decisions. \nPowered by The Orchard \nModerator: Evi Choursanidi

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)
