About MIM LATAM

MIM LATAM (Mercado de Industrias Musicales Latinoamericanas) is one of the region’s most important spaces for connection, collaboration, and growth in the music industry. Bringing together artists, managers, labels, promoters, and professionals from across Latin America and beyond, the event blends showcases, panels, workshops, and networking opportunities designed to spark meaningful collaborations and highlight the diversity of the region’s music scene.

What sets MIM apart is its commitment to showcasing women and underrepresented groups at the forefront of Latin music. From Panama to the rest of the region, the conference highlights their impact, amplifies their voices, and positions them as role models for the next generation of artists and professionals. Through panels, showcases, and workshops, MIM sparks conversations around identity, diversity, equality, and the cultural roots that shape Latin music today. 👏

How To Prep

Before heading to MIM LATAM, it’s smart to plan ahead. Take some time to map out the workshops, panels, and showcases you’re most excited about so you can make the most of your trip. When it comes to the essentials, be sure to bring everything you’ll need to network and promote yourself, think business cards, a notebook, a pen, some merch items if you have them, demo links or USBs, or anything else that’ll help you stand out and leave a lasting impression.

MIM LATAM is packed with workshops, panels, and showcases led by industry experts from across the region. Try to attend as many as you can, and don’t be shy about taking notes you can revisit later. Once the conference wraps up, follow up with the people you connected with through email or social media to keep the momentum going. Bonus points if you share highlights of your experience online and engage with other attendees who are posting about it too.

The more intentional you are with your time and connections, the better!
