This is one of the major events in the French music sector: from October 16 to 18, the Mama Festival is converging several hundred pros. Conferences, networking, concerts, all in an 18th arrondissement transformed into a music temple. The Plaine Images will be there!
By Laurent Tricart - Innovation & Partnership
A pro meeting with quality content, in a festive context (concerts in Gogo) and in a so welcoming space (the Pigalle-Montmartre district): the Mama Festival is at the top of the list of essential events for the musical sector French.
His birth, in 2009, started from an observation: France was the 5th world market in music and, unlike other countries which had a festival dedicated both to professionals and to the public- SXSW in the United States , The Great Escape in England or Eurosonic in the Netherlands ...-France, it did not.
Why go?
By playing the card of the hybrid event (general public/pro), the Mama Festival allows you to take the pulse of a musical industry both in its artistic side (discoveries by tens) and in its economic aspects (conferences with the subjects of the moment).
For young innovative companies that send the sector, Mama is therefore an ideal time to connect with market trends and the metaphysical questions that cross it.
Networking
With the presence (in 2023) of more than 7,000 professional. The festival offers a unique networking opportunity with all the players in the sector: majors, indés labels, turners, publishers, institutions, etc.
Round tables and generalist or hyper-specialized workshops allow you to easily meet experts and industry players. With a thematic approach that allows you to schedule a tailor-made course: recorded music, live, artists/management/publishing, etc. The conference program here .

An exchange between these 2 specialized companies allows us to take an overview of this market for the gamification of musical experience and to open up prospects for the music industry.

• The organization of a workshop on the 2024 issues of the ticket office.
Ticketing: Do we rebat the cards?
Between the data that all the actors want to assume, the necessary transformation of the customer experience and the Yield Management which points to the tip of its nose, the ticket office is perhaps experiencing a non-negligible mutation.
Traditional operators want to keep their pre -square, tech players dream of shaking up game and producers of shows and rooms work on their independence and reason in a short circuit to always better meet the expectations of their customers. . Will cards necessarily be rebatted?
2 EXPERTS OF THE SUBJECT testify: Perrine Chevalon , Director Communication and Ticketing from Left de la Lune , and Duong Phan , co-founder of TICKETR .
See you on Thursday 10/17 from 11:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. at Espace Forum @ le Trianon
