SHIP Festival: 10-13 September, Šibenik, Croatia
Is the music industry a silent burnout machine? || Saturday, 12 September, 11:15-12:00, Azimut
Moderator: Mandy Salem-Aubry (MSA Music Services, NL)
Speakers: Angeliki Spyridaki (Music from Greece, GR), Rosana Corbacho (M.I. Therapy, ES), Saskhia Menendez (Sassy Records, UK), Tineke Codron (Square 1 Support, BE)
The music industry runs on passion, but also on long hours, unstable income and constant pressure to always be available. For many, burnout isn’t an exception; it’s part of the job. But who gets to survive it, and who gets pushed out? Beyond mental health, the conversation also extends to diversity, inclusion and equal access to opportunities, recognising that not everyone experiences the industry in the same way. Bringing together voices from across the music ecosystem, this panel explores what needs to change to create a healthier, fairer and more sustainable music industry for everyone working in it.
IMPF Conference Programme Associate
I am delighted to be heading to Palma for the IMPF Global Music Summit from 6 to 8 October 2026. I have been working with the IMPF team on panel development and programming, and I am so excited by how it has all come together. For me, this is close to a dream conference, with independent music publishers at its heart alongside creators, partners and the wider music publishing ecosystem. Take a look at the programme and speakers below.
30 Years of ADE || Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE): 21-25 October, 2026
Buma Cultuur | Masterclass: How to Build & Scale Your Own Publishing Business
Speakers: Adam Salomon Ringhardt, Stefan Blonk, Gina-Maria Penserini, Quinten Moeshart
Moderator: Mandy Salem-Aubry
Setting up a music publishing company is one of the highest-leverage moves in the industry; yet most professionals get the foundation wrong. Designed for emerging managers, artists, and both prospective and newly established publishers, this masterclass provides a step-by-step blueprint to launch and expand right: from Creative & Sync to legal structures and rights registration to international collecting societies and deal-making. Learn about the various ways of getting started in music publishing, how to protect your catalogue, avoid costly mistakes, and set up a publishing entity from day one. The panel will also explain how to grow your catalogue beyond your first few writers and songs, expand your network and scale up to a global operating independent publisher.
Budapest Showcase Hub aka BuSH: 28-30 October, Budapest, Hungary
BuSH is a showcase festival and conference that brings emerging artists from Hungary and the wider region together with local and international music professionals. I’ll be joining the panel “Get Famous: The Evolution of Artist Promotion.”
