From 9th-12th October 2022, the first Music Entrepreneurial and Creative Industry summit was held in Palma, Mallorca, organised by the IMPF to bring together global music publishers, songwriters and friends. The aim, successfully achieved, was to meet, connect, create and do business in a stimulating environment with a host of different songwriters playing as an essential backdrop. Among the topics for discussion were the challenges for today's music industry, the growing opportunities for synchs, global royalties collection, the difficulties for the industry in Ukraine and help needed there, the buy-out problem in composing for the VOD market, creating fairness in streaming and the big future of independent music publishing over the next ten years.
