Registration Now Open For Canada Stand at MIDEM 2016
CIMA invites you to join the Canada Stand at our bright seaside location at Le Palais des Festivals in Cannes for the 50th anniversary of MIDEM.
MIDEM will be held in June again this year to take advantage of opportunities for outdoor activities, more live concerts, with enhanced programmes to support labels and their artists looking to export internationally.
Tune into the future of music: MIDEM remains the world's largest music industry trade fair and the leading international B2B event for opening new territories, reinforcing and/or making new connections and business deals around the world.
Canada Stand participation fees have not changed:
- $1,800 for the first representative from each company - $1,200 for the second (CIMA member rate)
- $2,500 for the first representative - $1,800 for the second (non-member rate)
In the past five years, Canada Stand delegates at MIDEM reported 1,250 confirmed & potential business deals worth more than $24M, along with 3,515 meetings (with publishers, distributors, licensing reps, touring agencies and others) and 3,360 new business contacts. It is the place to do business.

- Full access MIDEM delegate badge, and access to the highly coveted open-terrace meeting space.
- A fully staffed and furnished business-to-business trade centre.
- Dedicated high-speed Wi-Fi network.

Feedback from last year's Canada Stand participants indicates MIDEM remains the most important entry to point to international markets, and the Canada Stand remains the gold standard.
"MIDEM is still the largest music gathering in the world and best for developing the widest range of international relationships."
(The Canada Stand) "Brings the Canadian companies together to provide a strong unified front in the international music community, which ultimately attracts more interest and business." "Lends credibility to the participating companies." "A strong united centralized Canadian presence."
"It is a huge benefit for companies to be part of the Canadian brand through the Canada Stand as a national stand, when selling internationally."
"Canada Stand is one of the top 3 best and most active stands at MIDEM. This year was exceptional because we had media with us. Very strategic to have press, as we had the benefit of creating our own buzz - we got more visibility than Armenia who was the partner country."
"It was wonderful to have both Canada and Quebec together and the new location is prestigious, making us look like the great industry that we are."
