It's with great enthusiasm that we welcome you to the 16th edition of MaMA Music & Convention, an event that, year after year, has established itself as a veritable crossroads of ideas, talent and innovation. Over the years, MaMA has unquestionably become the meeting place for the French and international music worlds, a place for exchange and discovery.
In 2025, in an ever-changing world where balances are fragile, challenges multiply and opportunities are reinvented, MaMA is positioned as a space for reflection, a forum where every participant can help shape the future of the music industry. It's a place where ideas collide, where visions intersect, and where together we can envision the contours of a promising future. The internationalization of the event is a matter of course, as it brings together players and perspectives from the four corners of the globe, enriching the diversity and quality of our program.
At MaMA, we're preparing for the future while enjoying the present. We've designed a rich and eclectic program for you, combining inspiring conferences, captivating showcases and interactive workshops. From emerging artists to emblematic figures, from experienced professionals to young creators, everyone has an essential role to play in this great collective symphony. Together, we'll explore the new trends, innovative technologies and societal issues shaping our times.
Beyond professional exchanges, MaMA is above all a celebration of music in all its forms. It's a privileged moment to come together, share experiences and forge links that transcend borders. Music possesses the unique power to bring people together, move them and awaken their thoughts. It is the universal language that unites us, and it is this essence that we wish to highlight at this year's event. Because music is more than just an art form; it is a vector for change, a means of expression that can influence mentalities and bring cultures closer together.
Get ready to vibrate, discover, learn and be inspired. Whether you're an artist, a professional or an enthusiast, MaMA is your space. Let's work together to build a rich, creative and inclusive musical future.
In this year 2025, I would also like to pay a sincere tribute to Daniel Colling, with whom I have had the privilege of imagining, creating and growing this MaMA. His commitment, passion, creativity and determination were fundamental pillars in the evolution of our event. Daniel passed away at the beginning of 2025, leaving behind him an indelible mark on the hearts of all those who had the good fortune to know him, learn from him and get involved with him. His spirit never ceases to inspire our approach, and it is with deep gratitude that we perpetuate his vision, in order to continue to make MaMA the essential meeting place for French and international music professionals.
