MERRY-GO-ROUND: Announcements
New Business Showcase At Midem
Our friends at MusicAlly have hit on something hot for Midem '08 - it's good to see a positive and enlightened addition to the events agenda.
Partnering with MidemNet Forum, (a two-day conference exploring how digital is driving the music business forward), they will be showcasing forward-thinking new businesses, Cannes, 26-27 January '08.
With entries actively encouraged from new businesses, the showcase will highlight the most enterprising, innovative and inspiring business ideas to help to create value and move the music industry forwards in the 21st century. The six most inspiring business ideas will be invited to present at the MidemNet Forum where they will be voted on by attending delegates.
