MaMA renews its concept of a unique event in France, taking place over three days and nights in the 18th and 9th arrondissements of Paris. From Wednesday October 16 to Friday October 18, MaMA will offer conferences, meetings dedicated to professionals and concerts open to a wide audience in the Pigalle and Montmartre district. For three days, the heart of Pigalle and Montmartre will be beating to the rhythm of MaMA, which will take over a number of concert halls and other atypical venues to welcome the general public and professionals from the French and international music industries.
The days are reserved for professionals (more than 6,755 accredited attendees, representing 51 countries, were present at the 2024 edition), with a program of conferences, debates, workshops, speed-meetings, keynotes, and numerous networking activities enabling them to meet and develop collaborations.
