17th International Music Business Research Days – Music and Entrepreneurship

The International Music Business Research Days (IMBRD) is an established annual conference dedicated to advancing scholarly inquiry into the dynamics of the global music business. The 17th edition will be hosted by the Institute of Cultural Management and Media at the University of Music and Theatre Munich, Germany, and will take place from 9th to 11th September 2026.

The overarching theme of the 2026 conference is ‘Music and Entrepreneurship’. This theme may be explored from multiple angles. On the one hand, it encompasses the processes of founding and managing new enterprises within the music sector. On the other, it critically engages with the increasing entrepreneurial demands placed on musicians themselves, who must navigate career self-management, branding, and diversified revenue models in an evolving industry landscape.

To frame these debates, two keynote speakers will be invited to present on entrepreneurial perspectives in music — including both the development of new music companies and the lived experiences of entrepreneurial musicians.
