About CAMM

Centroamérica Mercado Musical is a music industry market created to strengthen, connect, and energize the music ecosystem across Central America. The event brings together artists, cultural agents, managers, producers, programmers, labels, media, and decision-makers from the region and the international music industry.

The 2026 edition marks CAMM’s third edition, with Panama City serving as the official host city. The event is built around training, connection, business opportunities, circulation, mobility, and the exchange of experiences between artists and music professionals from Central America and the world.

CAMM’s programming includes showcases, conferences, panels, workshops, strategic business meetings, and networking opportunities. The event’s business roundtables are structured as one-on-one meetings and speed networking sessions, bringing together selected artists, managers, labels, festivals, programmers, distributors, and music companies to support new professional connections across the region.

The 2026 program also includes live showcase performances, academic programming, and the CAMM Songwriting Camp with Sony Music Publishing. These different formats give artists and professionals multiple ways to present their work, learn from regional and international speakers, and connect with the broader Central American music ecosystem.

How To Prepare

Before you arrive, make sure your artist, label, or company materials are clear, current, and easy to share. Have your website, streaming links, social handles, short bio, recent releases, upcoming plans, and contact information ready to go.

If you’re hoping to connect with artists, managers, labels, festivals, programmers, distributors, media, cultural organizations, or other industry professionals, go in with a specific goal. Are you looking to expand your reach in Central America? Build new regional partnerships? Learn more about circulation opportunities? Connect with programmers or festivals? Better understand how artists across the region are developing their careers?

The stronger your direction is, the easier it will be to have productive conversations. A simple one-sheet, EPK, website, or QR code can help, but the most important thing is knowing how to explain who you are, what you do, and what kind of conversations or connections would actually move things forward.

Let’s Connect…

Central America continues to be an important region for independent music, with artists, labels, and industry professionals building stronger networks across local, regional, and international markets. Events like CAMM create a real opportunity to exchange ideas, build relationships, and better understand how music from the region is moving beyond borders.

This year, Symphonic will be attending CAMM 2026, and we’d love to connect with artists, labels, managers, distributors, programmers, and music professionals working across the independent music space.
