m4music is a non-commercial festival aimed at promoting the local pop music scene. It is organised by the Migros Culture Percentage, a private promoter of culture. The latest developments in pop music are discussed at the Conference. These discussions are often picked up by the media and thus made accessible to a wider public.

The panels and workshops held or translated in English are listed below. The complete programme of the Conference 2016 can be found on our German website.
