Tuesday was opening day at international music industry convention Midem in Cannes, France. With 4000-5000 attendees, there’s nothing quite like it.
Just in case your budget didn’t allow you to soak up the sun walking the Boulevard de la Croisette, it’s still possible to follow all the action at Midem 2017.

This very blog will once again be home to reports of all kinds. A concerts wrap to start off your day with the best of Midem by Night; a conference wrap mid-afternoon (courtesy of the venerable Music Ally team); and more conference tidbits throughout the day.
Not forgetting Twitter: the official @midem account will be the place for conference livetweets and much more. Speaking of which, here are the hashtags!
#midem, plain and simple, for anything about the show (add #MAA for the Midem Artist Accelerator, #IMA for the International Midem Awards, or #bynight for anything nocturnal. Well, almost anything!) Not forgetting #midemlab for our startup competition.
We’ll also be sending out a daily email of Midem 2017 highlights; not to be missed.
Also new this year: you’ll be able to sign up for live updates directly in Facebook Messenger!
