Midem

<h2 id="business-role">Business role</h2>

<p>Midem provides a forum for business talks, political and legal discussions. It is a market where global distribution and music deals are sealed. It also is a platform for showcasing new artists, musical trends and music-related products and services. So-called musictech, or music technology services, has featured more prominently over later years.

<h2 id="attendance">Attendance</h2>
<p>In January 2013, Midem was attended by 6,400 delegates from 3,000 companies (out of which 1,350 had stands or pavilions of their own).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> The event was covered by 350 international journalists. Although there are attendees from all over the world, the majority of delegates have been from Western Europe and North America. In 2015 many more international delegates registered.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a>
</p><p>In 2020 and again in 2021, the event went entirely online due to <a href="/facts/COVID-19/YsUgvsaX">COVID-19</a> restrictions. Not only was the south of France still undergoing curfews and restrictions, it was felt that many international participants would not be able to reach Cannes, and major companies would be reticent about sending employees into a potentially infectious environment. As of March 2021<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Midem&action=edit">[update]</a> Midem promised to be back in Cannes in June 2022<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> but the 2022 event was canceled by its December 2021 announcement.
</p>
<h2 id="ceremony-awards">Ceremony awards</h2>
<p>The conference has held some ceremonies awards, including Midem Videoclips Awards in the 1980s, compiled by <i><a href="/facts/Music_Box_(TV_channel)/gAwKudUg">Music Box</a></i> and <i><a href="/facts/Eurotipsheet/B95IfLXg">Eurotipsheet</a></i>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> Prebilled as an "international" competition, it recognized videos of European, US and English-speaking artists. The record companies submitted their videos for competition.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> 
</p><p>In 1992, it was created the International Visual Music Awards, in association with <a href="/facts/SACEM/V3ECplF5">SACEM</a> (the French society for authors, composers, and publishers of music).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a> In 1994, <i>Billboard</i> reported the ceremony was simply called the MIDEM Awards.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a> In 2000, the MidemNet Award was created.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12"><sup>12</sup></a> Other ceremonies includes <a href="/facts/International_Classical_Music_Awards/fkQlC7d3">International Classical Music Awards</a>, and the <a href="/facts/Cannes_Classical_Awards/fkQlC7d3">Cannes Classical Awards</a>.
