The Music Entrepreneurial and Creative Industry Summit
Palma, Mallorca, Spain on October 09 to 12 2022
Welcome
I’m so pleased to welcome everyone to Palma for the first ever IMPF-hosted large scale music industry summit. It’s wonderful that so many of our friends and colleagues from around the world are together in the same place again. We’ve got a full conference programme to look forward to, covering the essential topics that are influencing our industry and community. We are very grateful for the kind sponsorship of Musixmatch, Downtown Music Services, On Music, and Session and we are delighted that the “Budde Bar” is here to celebrate 75 years of BuddeMusic, one of the founder members of IMPF. Without the exceptional work of Kemper Music Group, 22D Music Group, Alondra Music and the financing of Creative Europe none of this would have been possible. On behalf of the Board of Directors thank you all.
Annette Barrett, President of IMPF
In collaboration with:
The sponsors
We are delighted to be a sponsor of this first of its kind event for IMPF. Musixmatch is a proud Friend and Supporter of IMPF and the international independent music publishing community it represents. We look forward to connecting with many of you in Palma.
We are happy and thrilled to see so many members of IMPF this year in Palma and to celebrate 75 years of Budde Music with our dear partners and friends from around the world. Budde Music is proud to be part of IMPF and is looking forward to seeing everyone at our Budde Bar Reception.
On Music are pleased to be sponsoring the Sundowners cocktail this year at the IMPFs Creative Industry Summit and look forward to catching up with friends and colleagues from around the world in Palma.
Session Studio is honoured to be the songwriters app of choice for the Palma Studios Songwriting Camp and the IMPF industry summit. Our partnership establishes a new standard for all future songwriting events around the world; ours will be the first songwriting camp where every track created at this camp will have the vital data and credits information attached from the point of creation. Every track released with the correct song and recording information saves time and resources across the music industry ecosystem, and ensures our amazing songwriters get paid. With the important admin taken care of, we can finally focus on what really matters: the music! Niclas Molinder
It’s a joy to learn that the IMPF and Palma Songwriting Camp are using Session Studio to empower songwriters to get the credit they deserve. The more the industry champions the correct capture and assignment of song credits, the closer we come to being able to support and protect the careers of all current and future music creators. Björn Ulvaeus
