MIDEM has launched its inaugural virtual conference (June 2-5), following the cancellation of this year’s event in Cannes.
While the move was forced on MIDEM due to Covid-19, director Alexandre Deniot has told Music Week how a digital platform was part of its long-term plans to complement the event in Cannes. MIDEM will return to the city on June 1, 2020.
The programme of events for the digital edition includes YouTube’s Tuma Basa, Kobalt’s Willard Adhriz, SoundCloud’s Kerry Trainor, Downtown Music’s Justin Kalifowitz and music industry lawyer Kenny Meiselas.
