Education Programme

The road to international stardom isn’t just about the music; it’s about knowing how the machine works. Together with our industry partners, we’ve designed the MME Education Day: a deep dive into 'capacity building' for the next generation of European talent.

Whether it’s mastering the art of the tour, understanding the maze of copyrights, or keeping up with your mental health while doing what you love, we’re here to give you the tools to cross borders with confidence.

Networking & Connections

The afternoon kicks off with an exclusive Meet & Greet where you’ll get face-to-face with bookers from the most iconic venues and festivals across Europe.

Throughout the day, you’ll be surrounded by fellow artists and music pros from every corner of the continent. It’s about building a community that moves together.

What's on the agenda?

After the Meet & Greet, the central program starts. Every year, the agenda changes. But to give you an idea of what this day means, take a look below. We’re covering the essentials that every rising artist and professional needs to know to survive and thrive:

  • 101: Going International & Touring: Touring is expensive; let’s make it profitable. From saving on transport by renting gear locally to strategically planning your route (why play Rome if your fans are in Sicily?), we’ll show you how to tour smart.
  • 101: Music Rights & Royalties: Are you leaving money on the table? Copyrights, mechanical rights, and neighboring rights work differently in every European country. We’ll help you claim what’s yours.
  • The Power of Sync: Ever wondered how a track ends up in a hit series like Stranger Things? Music supervisors explain how sync can skyrocket your bank account and your fame in one go.
  • Mind & Body: Your health is your greatest asset. We’ll share essential tips and tricks to keep your mind and body resilient in a high-pressure industry.

Breakout sessions

After the central program, each artist can pick 1 out of 3 breakout sessions, to gain deeper knowledge into one subject. If you're smart: you invite your whole band and send them off to one each ;-).

The Famous Artist Dinner

We close the day in style. The famous artist dinner is where the magic happens. Grab a seat alongside fellow artists, crew members, industry speakers, and our partner organizations. It’s the ultimate chance to talk shop, share stories, and cement those new international friendships over a great meal.
