The music industry sets a clear agenda on the French Riviera every February. In 2026 that agenda has fixed dates and a location in Cannes.
Dates and venue in Cannes
Midem 2026 runs from 4 to 7 February 2026 at the Palais des Festivals. The venue is listed as the main site for the conference programme, the Startup Village and the event’s musical showcases.
What Midem 2026 includes
Official information highlights a Startup Village, the Midem Awards and the event app branded as L’Appli Midem 26. A confirmed musical highlight in the published content is a European launch concert with Jay Park and LNGSHOT in Cannes. Hotel offers tied to the event are listed alongside ticketing and support channels.
Attendee and exhibitor profile
Public descriptions define Midem 2026 as a trade fair for music, entertainment and technology that brings together industry professionals.

B2B outreach tactics for Midem 2026
For commercial meetings bring concise evidence of impact. For music tech companies prepare 10 to 15 minute demos and clear ROI scenarios. For labels and publishers present a licensing packet with sync examples and catalogue highlights. Use the Startup Village to secure focused meetings and the L’Appli Midem 26 app to coordinate appointments in advance.
Practical meeting tips
- Target contacts by role to speed qualification. Seek A&R, sync or acquisition leads rather than broad company lists.
- Share a one-page briefing and a demo link before meetings to make time spent on-site productive.
- Leave 30 minutes between slots to cover transit within the Palais des Festivals and adjacent sessions.
