Midem is the world's largest music industry trade fair, which has been held annually at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France, since 1967.

Every January, leading executives from the global music industry meet during the mild Cannes winter. Sometimes it’s warm enough to lunch outside. In the evenings, catch up on music at different venues around town.
