Welcome to Parma!

Federation

5-7 June 2024: Hosted by Fondazione Arturo Toscanini, WFIMC will hold its first International Marketing Conference

The music world is a dynamic landscape shaped by frequent changes and new challenges across various fronts. Technologies revolutionize composition, production, and distribution, altering the very nature of musical creation and consumption. Streaming platforms dominate the market, requiring artists to navigate algorithms and SEO strategies to gain visibility. AI advancements offer both opportunities and concerns, from enhancing music production to potential job displacement. Market presence becomes a multifaceted endeavor, encompassing online engagement, social media outreach, and live performances tailored to diverse audiences.

In music competitions, traditional standards evolve alongside emerging genres, demanding changes from contestants and organizers alike. At this first WFIMC Marketing Forum, we will offer opportunities to explore these changes, discuss strategies and formulate new ideas.

The 2024 WFIMC Marketing Forum will precede the 68th General Assembly of the World Federation. It is dedicated to marketeers from our member competitions, but is open to all marketing professionals and music managers from around the world. We invite you to take part in this conference while enjoying the sights, sounds and amazing foods of the UNESCO Creative City of Parma, Italy!

Registrations are open from March 1, while more conference details and speakers will be published on April 1.
