MIDEM's 40th anniversary edition was a vibrant celebration of music, which successfully combined prestige and diversity. It featured tributes and awards ceremonies, an outstanding conference programme with numerous renowned keynotes and a sold-out MidemNet Forum, and over 70 concerts attracting no less than 15,000 spectators (delegates and general public alike) to enjoy an eclectic line-up, thriving with new talent.

In a context of the music industry's profound transformation, MIDEM has well and truly proven to be a crucial focal point for meeting, debating and bringing together the actors who are rebuilding the sector's landscape.
