In addition to the trade fair the organizers entertained visitors with 96 different artists at the 'EEMC Music Festival' next to the exhibition centre and at several parties in the leading clubs of St. Petersburg. The conference on Digital Distribution and Copyright in Eastern Europe was one of the highlights of the event, say the organizers. Representatives of leading collecting societies and distribution companies as well as specialized lawyers lectured about digital distribution and copyright within the EEMC.
For next year's EEMC, the organizers plan to include open public events, more panels, festivals and more top act performances. The exhibition's organization will be improved and supplemented with new features such as an A'n'R Area and special workshops.
