THE BUSINESS OF MUSIC 1:
Investment, Publishing, Engagement, State of Indie & Rights, Revenue & Reach

How great is it to be back in Brooklyn! Start the day off right as Eventim hosts the Mondo Welcome Breakfast and we announce the winners of the 2026 Mondo Innovator Awards, followed by a morning chock full of incredible sessions including an 11 AM fireside between Marc Cimino & Paul Sipio and a noon fireside between Amanda Molter and Ilene Farkas. Before you know it, lunch is served in the Grand Ballroom -- thanks to Concord -- and then right back to a full afternoon's slate as KOSIGN hosts a deep dive into the Rights, Revenue & Reach. Night brings our opening reception plus MondoLive.
