MIDEM is an international music business conference, which is held annually in Cannes, France. I went for the first time this year, and it was a real eye opener :p
Coming into the Nice airport. England was cold and wet when we left.
Gonna get girly on you and show you what I wore :) Here's me, day 1...
... day 2...
... Day 3 (was raining, so reverted to my comfy clothes hahahaha)...
... day 4 xD
The Korean Pavilion had new displays daily--it was fun to go by and see who they had up. Here's me with CN Blue.
Time to go back to England? NEVAAAHHHHHHHHRUH
There are talks for everyone. Here's pianist Lang Lang.
And Mark Hoppus from Blink-182.
As well as loads of music business presentations. I learned so much in four days, but I hit major overload on day 4 :P
In the evenings there are performances--both in clubs (here's We Are FM)
and in the specially built venue: The Magic Mirrors. I can't remember who this is, but we really enjoyed Archive's show on the third evening.
If you are in the music business, even if you're just a student like me, I would definitely recommend attending MIDEM if you can. I learned an incredible amount in four days! If you go next year, let me know and let's meet up ;)
