The music industry's most pivotal event
Musikmesse concerns itself with the rapid changes in music production and the music industry as a whole that includes not just instruments, software and technique, but also emerging business models. The international trade fair is a fusion between a festival that celebrates music and a purely sales-oriented platform that introduces supply with demand. The program enables artists, decision makers and producers to network in hopes of future collaboration and visitors can also attend many informative workshops and seminars. Musikmesse has a history of nearly 4 decades first launching in 1980 and in that time span has rose in significance to shape the sound and markets in Europe. The product portfolio extends to stringed instruments, percussion instruments, DJ equipment, plucked instruments, recording hardware, synthesizers, digital pianos, sheet music and recording software.
Musikmesse 2022 and Covid-19
Organisers have announced the cancellation of Musikmesse 2022. The causes for the cancellation of the latest edition are the ongoing pandemic and the current challenges related to it. Organisers are in the process of debating the new hosting dates and event format. If Musikmesse takes place as a live event, it will be held in Frankfurt, Germany. Attendees will be able to conduct business amidst the most up-to-date Covid-19 prevention strategies. Social distancing will be one of the implemented strategies, as will the requirement to wear a mask indoors. Messe Frankfurt will also implement a strict 3G entry policy. Attendees must present negative test results or immunisation passports before admission to the venue. They can also opt to present proof of recovery to gain access to the exhibition grounds. Attendants of Musikmesse should note that the edition will feature a long-term change to the event. The leading exhibition for the music industry and music production sector will be held as a B2C platform rather than as a B2B one.
