Most Wanted: Music 2024

Mark your calendar: Most Wanted: Music 2024 takes place from 12 to 14 November at Kulturbrauerei Berlin. In the eleventh edition of MW:M, everything revolves around the motto Monetize! MW:M24 wants to explore how an industry posting record profits can become kinder, fairer, cleaner, more efficient, and more inventive – whilst ensuring that everyone makes money:

💶Monetize artists’ work better

Which partnerships, funding, and business models work best for today’s nimble, multi-faceted artists and their collaborators? How should teams build structures and networks that wring every last cent of value from artists’ work? We talk to the people making money smarter.

🎹Monetize technology fairly

Where does the power balance lie in the complex structure of major rightsholders, streaming platforms, and independent players – and why are many still losing out? Where do opaque spots remain in the system, and how are they (not) being fixed? We rattle the black box to find out.

🔋Monetize sustainability and accessibility

Caring for the planet and making access to music fair is not the antithesis of making money – it’s the route to new forms of income. So which platforms, skills, and strategies make more money when you do more good? We’ll show how caring means earning.
We anticipate over 3,000 local and international guests from the music and creative industries to join us in Berlin. Engage in innovative discussions, practical workshops, and tailored networking sessions.
