France @ Reeperbahn Festival 2023 : the program (Hamburg – September 20/23)

The CNM continues its presence at the Reeperbahn Festival, helping to promote the diversity of music made in France with showcase concerts, networking events and conferences in this key region for export.

For the 2023 edition, 18 artists and some 40 French professionals will be making the trip. It’s an opportunity to demonstrate the vitality and drive of the French music industry by giving artists major exposure and enabling professionals to extend their network through professional meetings.

The CNM is organising a networking format entitled the French Artist Pitch Breakfast, which will give representatives of the French bands playing at the festival the opportunity to pitch their projects in front of some 60 international VIP professional guests (festival directors, booking agents, publishers, A&Rs, music supervisors…). Closed shop- by invitation only!As an EMEE member, the CNM is also taking part in the Increase Your Impact Internationally networking event, which will enable European professionals to find out how they can get involved in EMEE projects, and to meet EMEE member export offices. RSVP here.

At this year’s conference, a number of French speakers will take part in round tables, including one with the participation of CNM :

• Carol MEYER (ART ROCK FESTIVAL & DECONCERT) on the “Festival Season 2023/2024” panel
• Corinne SADKI (EMEE & CNM) on the “De­ve­lo­ping Mu­sic Ex­port In Eu­ro­pe” panel
• Florence COLLIN (PERSONA GRATA) on the panel “Agents Agenda: Developing Careers or Reasons for Therapy…?“
