How to prepare B2B prospecting at Chor.Com 2026
Map out your targets before arrival. The forum gathers music publishers, record labels, technology suppliers, conservatories, promoters and associations. Check the exhibitor list and prioritize whom to approach.
Use the Speed Matching program to schedule short meetings with composers and professionals. Bring both digital and physical material that reflects your activity. For publishers have repertoire samples, recordings or streaming links ready. For programming offers prepare a project dossier with proposed dates and technical requirements.
Schedule workshops where key contacts teach or perform. Masterclasses are useful to assess artistic fit and to start conversations about programming and editions.
Program focus and community initiatives
The Building Bridges focus directs sessions toward collaboration across genres and communities. The forum features open talks, communal singing and exhibition stands with editorial and technical material. Community outreach appears in projects such as the Music Swap Lab and pop up choirs for local schools.
