The two major international music fairs are MIDEM in Cannes and Popkomm in Berlin. On behalf of the Danish Arts Council's Music Committee the Danish Arts Agency's Music Centre organises Danish stands at these fairs. The stands function as a meeting place for the Danish music business: Major and independent record labels, music publishers, music managements and organisations.
