What Attendees Are Saying

Future Music Forum was one of the most eclectic, and inspiring conferences that I ever attended. It provided an intimate, close knit, bridge into what to look for, invest in, etc in the music industry for the future. You couple that with being in one of the most exciting and beautiful cities in the world, it provides you with a Win Win situation!

A truly international gathering of passionate experts across all sides of the music biz, from creative to tech, sharing valuable practices. Proud to have participated and we look forward to coming again!

FMF was unquestionably one of the highlights of the conference year. The setting in Barcelona brought out the best in networking and informative presentations and panels.

Future Music Forum is a unique event and platform to interact with great music industry professionals interested in tech and innovation. It has facilitated connecting with people that I did not know and to keep in touch with existing contacts. It is a home for curious minds in the music sector.

Immediate Release

Postponement of Future Music Forum Barcelona

Friends

We regret to inform you that due to unforeseen circumstances, the highly anticipated 13th edition of the Future Music Forum Barcelona, originally scheduled to take place in Barcelona from Sept 25th-27th, 2024, will be postponed. This decision was not made lightly, as we understand the excitement and preparation that has gone into this event from attendees, speakers, and sponsors alike.

Recent developments have made it clear that proceeding with the conference as planned would not be in the best interest of our community. We are currently working diligently to secure new dates for 2025 and will announce them as soon as possible.

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your understanding and patience during this time. Our team is committed to delivering the exceptional experience you have come to expect from the FMF. We believe that by postponing, we can better ensure an innovative and enriching event for everyone involved.

All purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates or reimbursed.

We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this postponement may cause and appreciate your continued support. We are optimistic that with your support, the rescheduled conference will be a phenomenal success, bringing together the brightest minds in music and technology in a safe and inspiring setting.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. We look forward to welcoming you to Barcelona soon.

Warm regards,

Niall Doorley,

Director, Future Music Forum
