The Event

After two editions marked by strong international participation and regulatory relevance, Digital Music and European Rights & Royalties returns in 2026 with a sharper focus: governance, accountability, and value distribution in the European digital music ecosystem.

The 2026 edition moves beyond regulatory awareness and technological experimentation, addressing how laws, platforms, AI systems, and market actors can coexist sustainably, while protecting creativity, ensuring fair remuneration, and enabling innovation.

2026 Vision

• From compliance to long-term digital governance
• From experimentation to scalable rights-management infrastructures
• From platform dominance to fairer value chains
• From fragmented data to interoperable European standards

This edition positions itself as a strategic forum where policymakers, rights holders, platforms, creators, and technology providers actively shape the next phase of Europe’s music economy.

Host City

Belgrade, Serbia once again hosts the Panel, reinforcing its role as a bridge between EU regulatory frameworks and emerging digital markets.

With its growing tech ecosystem, strong creative scene, and strategic geographic position, Belgrade offers a neutral and dynamic environment for high-level European dialogue on music rights and innovation.
