This November, CIMA will be conducting our fourth mission to Mexico surrounding the FIMPRO festival and conference. Working with FIMPRO, CIMA, in partnership with SODEC, will organize a showcase and business initiative to Guadalajara from November 9-12 with 4 Canadian delegates and their artists. CIMA may also organize a pre-event in Mexico City focusing on showcasing and networking for select mission participants.
Mexico is currently the 2nd largest music market in Latin America after Brazil, with the two countries accounting for 66% of the regions revenues. FIMPRO, held November 9-12, in Guadalajara is one of the most important music conferences in Mexico and Latin America where top emerging international artists are selected to showcase. Launched in 2012, FIMPRO organizes business sessions and meetings with important players in the local, national and international music industries including guests and speakers from all Latin American countries.
This format allows CIMA’s delegation to gain important information on the state of the music industry in Mexico and connect with over 1000+ professionals, primarily representatives of the independent industry.
