The Palma songwriting camp will run concurrent to the IMPF Global Music Summit from 04 to 08 October 2026.

This year we are very happy to organise this 5th edtion of the Palma songwriting camp  in collaboration with the European Composer and Songwriter Alliance (ECSA) which represent around 30,000 music authors across 57 member organisations in Europe.

One international selection committee is selecting 20 writers, 10 from IMPF member publisher companies and 10 from ECSA.  This is an exciting adventure for songwriters to create great tracks, collaborate internationally and meet industry leaders.  A high-energy celebratory listening session open to all Palma delegates will take place on the evening of Thursday,  08 October.

Committee members:

Annette Barrett, President of the Selection Committee, MD and Global Strategic Liaison, Reservoir and IMPF President
