Amsterdam Dance Event is nearly here. Here’s where to find Paradise Worldwide in Amsterdam.
On Wednesday, we are at AFEM Annual General Meeting. SAMPRA's CEO Pfanani Lishivha will be bringing a South African neighbouring-rights perspective to the discussion on AI and music rights. The conversation connects with the Berlin AI Think Tank’s work on AI detection, licensing and fair remuneration.
That evening, South African artists NAAK 🇿🇦 and Vumaala perform at the AFEM Members Mixer, with support from the SAMPRA Development Fund and in collaboration with SAMPRA, Paradise Sound System and Africa Rising Music Conference (ARMC).
On Thursday at ADE Pro, our CEO Ralph Boege will be speaking at the “Leaky Pipes: Fraud, AI and the Tools Deciding Who Gets Paid” session, which examines how fraud and AI detection shape DSP decisions, rights and payments. Paradise Worldwide is working on practical approaches to AI detection and licensing. Our complete Publishing and CMO data helps DSPs match music usage to the right recordings and compositions, supporting accurate royalty payments.
Later, NAAK and Vumaala go B2B at the Paradise Sound System Showcase at House of A by Bridges For Music.
