CIMA will organize and lead a Trade Mission to represent Canada at the inaugural Bizkaia International Music Experience (BIME) conference, in Bilbao, Spain.
BIME is the first “European Music Conference on Gaming, App and Digital Revenue Opportunities” November 19-23, 2013. BIME is organized by Last Tour International, the largest music promoter in Spain (www.lasttourinternational.com).
With the help of a number of high-level industry representatives from music, gaming and new technologies, this unique conference will explore the relationship between music and gaming, as well as emerging revenue models that are changing the music business landscape.
BIME is excited to announce that Canada will be the host country for 2013.
