MICANNES-the music industry is back to Cannes

After a great second edition in 2023 MiCANNES brought back the music industry to Cannes. The revival of the original MIDEM for professionals, the mix between panels and show cases but without a market with exhibitors took place this year from 4 to 7 June 2024 at the Mondrian Hotel. It’s where the music biz meets to have fun, network with like-minded industry professionals, and make business happen. And this indeed happened on the first day when all the participants met at the opening cocktail of MICANNES. And it continued with a lunch sponsored by Horus Music Limited on the second day. Nina Condron was one of the hosts. I know Nina from the Midem, like her many other music professionals are now coming back to Cannes. Thank you Ian! It is Ian Penman who invited me to attend MICANNES. Ian is a partner at the New Media Law who resurrected MIDEM by co-founding the Music International Canne/MICANNES. Ian is a member of a commetee. Among them I meet Nina Condron which I know from the Midem. Nina is a directed at Horus Music Limited, an award-winning global, independent music distribution and label services company. Her company hosted a lunch the next day. This is where I met Andy Bernstein, a Manchester based tour operator with more than 30 years touring experince. He was part of a panel about the future of life music later that day. All panels took place at the Mondrian Hotel culminating in a award ceremony. And last but not least my friend Charmaine Wohlmann I must mention the London based singer/songwriter/actress Charmaine Wohlmann, who attended this edition and was the first one who told me about Micannes. Thanks Charmaine!
