In an exclusive interview with Billboard, outgoing Midem CEO Alexandre Deniot says he's 'still looking at different options' for a Global Music Conference.
“We’re still looking at different options and what we can do in the future,” says Deniot, who is stepping down from his post but will stay on at RX France through the beginning of the year. At least some of his staff is also expected to leave the company.
Deniot, formerly director of digital business development at Universal Music France, was appointed head of Midem in 2017, as the international market began to rebound with the advent of streaming. “For the last four years, we did 10 events in seven countries and we had a digital edition of Midem Africa last June. It was not just one shot,” says Deniot. “Helping the professionalization of our community [in Africa] was fantastic. It was for the long term. It was beyond the business; it was about people, relationships and music.”
Deniot would not provide details on why exactly RX France decided to cancel Midem this year but did say he “understood and respected” their decision.
