When software talks: state of play and prospects for live performance

How can the different software solutions used by performing arts professionals better communicate with one another? The challenge of information systems interoperability has become central to streamlining data circulation, reducing duplicate entries, and making daily work easier for teams. At MaMA, the workshop presented by Heeds will share the findings of an unprecedented study on interoperability in the sector. This study, recently conducted by TMNlab, provides an overview of current practices, identifies the needs expressed by professionals, and outlines concrete ways to improve cooperation between digital solutions. Moderated by Fabrice Ecoiffier, Director of Heeds, the discussion will bring together: * Juliette Tissot-Vidal and Judith Afokpa from TMNlab, who will present the main insights of the study; * representatives from GHS, Fairly, and Chapitô, software solutions interconnected with Heeds, who will share their experiences, highlight the benefits already observed, and discuss the challenges that remain. This workshop is intended above all as a space for exchange and forward-looking discussion: what best practices should be adopted? Which sector-wide initiatives should be supported? How can we foster an open ecosystem that truly serves performing arts professionals? Join us to discover the study's results, engage with the stakeholders involved, and imagine together the next steps toward sustainable and beneficial interoperability for all.
