PRESENTATION | BRAZIL: 210 MILLION PEOPLE YOU DON’T KNOW, BUT YOU SHOULD
12.00 – 13.00 FUNDAÇÃO ARPAD SZENES – VIEIRA DA SILVA
What are the main characteristics and behaviours of the largest Portuguese-speaking music market? How does it relate to the rest of the world, and what are the best strategies to reach it?

*This panel was co-organized by MIL and Adriana Belic.
BUILD A BAND
ESPAÇO ATMOSFERAS | 14.00 – 15.00
Many artists build their careers in a particular place but, at the same time, they have ambition to go further afield and win international recognition. How does one plan an international campaign in a way that it reaches the main European and international markets? This talk gathers a panel of international experts and professionals from different sectors of the music industry, to present and talk about the various types of campaigns and key strategies to promote artists and their work internationally.
POLITICS AND CONTEMPORARY POP MUSIC: A POSSIBLE RELATIONSHIP?
CÂMARA MUNICIPAL DE LISBOA | 15.00 – 16.30
This session will explore the role of politics in the music industry, and consider how this relationship operates in different regions of the world. At a time where public subsidies for the cultural and creative sectors are decreasing, we need to think about new, alternative ways to distribute the available resources. Is there a better way of rethinking city planning and reassessing social and cultural politics, in order to achieve new cultural ambitions?
MIGUEL HONRADO, the Portuguese Secretary of State of Culture, will attend this discussion, with a brief introduction to the topic.
THE CREATIVE FORCE OF INDEPENDENT LABELS ON THE MUSIC MARKET
ESPAÇO ATMOSFERAS | 16.00 – 17.00
The advent of digital technology brought radical changes to the relationship between the different elements inside the music industry. In this debate, the role of the independent labels and their relationship with the music industry will be discussed. With the economic crisis, the major record labels partially resigned their role of monitoring artists they represented. Did these developments benefit or paralyse the progress of independent labels? How do these independent bodies contribute to the creative process? Moreover, how do they see their future in the digital era?
ARTIST’S RIGHTS IN THE DIGITAL ERA
ESPAÇO ATMOSFERAS | 18.30 – 19.30
For years, options for the future of the musical industry have been imagined. But the digital revolution disrupted the musical landscape. Commercial flows changed and are now in different hands. Transparency and equal distribution of the music industry’s resources and revenues are some of the preoccupations that affect the industry in the digital era and will be debated in this session.

THE ART OF PROGRAMMING
FUNDAÇÃO ARPAD SZENES – VIEIRA DA SILVA | 12.30 – 13.30
What are the main criteria for booking an artist for a festival? What are the possible scenarios? What problems and approaches can we anticipate? From sales to social media interaction and press coverage, which are the most relevant audience indicators?

THE HAPPY CITY
CÂMARA MUNICIPAL DE LISBOA | 15.30 – 17.00
How can a city become more attractive to artists and the public? What factors and mechanisms are behind the transformation of a city into a creative and artistic hub? MIL’s first edition will bring together a group of professionals that will analyse these questions – approaching them through economical, political, artistic, social and demographic criteria from different cities of the world – to better comprehend the city as an important creative and artistic hub.
ARTISTS AND MANAGERS: REINVENTING A COLLABORATION IN PROGRESS
ESPAÇO ATMOSFERAS | 16.30 – 17.30
One role of the manager is to adapt to the artist’s reality. Nowadays, the artist-manager relationship is constantly challenged by new elements like new technologies, the economic crisis or the countless possibilities that social networks provide. What is the primary role of a manager in an artist’s career? Fund debut singles? Negotiate new contracts? Produce videos and social media content? What is the manager’s role in collecting royalties and related rights? Does the manager need to master every trick in the industry’s commercial playbook? Based on these questions, the relationship between the artist and the manager will be debated, taking into consideration the constant mutations that the sector itself imposes upon the artist and the creative process, plus production and distribution.
*This panel curated by ETIC.
MUSIC: HISTORY AND TRENDS IN THE PORTUGUESE SPEAKING TERRITORY
PENSÃO AMOR | 17.30 – 18.30
Through history, different rhythms and cultures crossed paths in Portuguese speaking territories, leading to much diversity and new cultural expressions.
