Key worldwide music industry & sync events list 2016

written by Emma Griffiths October 6, 2016

We’re constantly updating the list to make sure you know about the latest music industry events in each city. For smaller and more frequent events, be sure to stay updated with trade organisations such as AIM, ASCAP, A2IM, and MPA (see a full list here). As not all dates have been announced yet, you’ll see projected timings for some events.

Whilst this list primarily focuses on music industry events, we’ve also added some key gaming, advertising, media and film events. At the end of the list you’ll find more comprehensive guides to each of these event sectors.
