The International Live Music Conference (ILMC) is back for its 37th edition, and this time, it’s setting sail for an exciting voyage into the future of live music. From February 25-28th, 2025, the world’s leading live entertainment professionals will gather at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London to explore the latest industry trends, challenges, and opportunities.

Platinumlist is proud to be a part of this prestigious event, with our CEO, Cosmin Ivan, taking the stage to share key insights into the ever-evolving Middle Eastern market.

The Middle East has been experiencing a remarkable transformation in its live entertainment landscape, with global interest surging and new partnerships forming rapidly. However, challenges remain, from infrastructural developments to geopolitical considerations.

That’s why ILMC 2025 will feature Middle East Live: States of Growth, a panel discussion bringing together key industry leaders to examine the region’s potential on 27th February 2025 from 10-11 a.m.

Cosmin Ivan will join an esteemed panel of experts, including Emma Banks (CAA, UK), Iain Campbell (Oak View Group, UAE), Shelley Frost (The Fridge Entertainment, AE), Mazen Khamis (MDLBEAST, SA), Thomas Ovesen (All Things Live Middle East), Paul Pacifico (Music Commission, KSA)

Together, they will explore critical topics such as ticketing trends, genre preferences, consumer behavior, and the timeline for the Middle East’s emergence as a global entertainment hub.

For anyone involved in event planning, promotions, or ticketing, this session will provide invaluable data-driven insights into one of the fastest-growing live entertainment markets.
