MIDEM 2005, The World’s Music Market (Cannes, France, 23–27 January) will host a Live Music Network for the first time. The networking and conference day is dedicated to the thriving live music sector and will be held on Wednesday 26 January.

The Live Music Network will take place at a time when the live music sector has never been so dynamic. It will unite artists, management, agents, promoters, merchandisers, sponsors, venues, ticket agents, record companies, retailers, music publishers and media to discuss this growth. Particular focus will be given to how new technology has helped the live sector’s explosion, and how it will increasingly do so in the future. [more @ www.midem.com]
