Music for Conferences
Avoid these 3 mistakes for your event
This shows right away which kinds of music use often cause problems at public or commercial events.
Simply using streaming services such as Spotify
For public and commercial events, that is usually not the right usage basis.
Using PRO music without clear classification
That can quickly lead to extra costs or follow-up questions around your event.
Using CDs, free downloads, or unclear music sources
In commercial use, these often lack the right usage rights or a reliable proof of licensing.
How would you like to start?
Choose individual tracks yourself or compare fitting event packages. If you are unsure about pricing or licensing, the event license navigator can help.
Choose individual event tracks
If you already have individual tracks in mind or want to choose them yourself, start directly in the event track catalog.
Compare event packages
If you prefer to start with a complete music package, compare fitting selections in quick start.
Prepare your event
If you already want to plan your event in detail, start with the framework, music phases, and later track selection in the event flow.
Clarify pricing and licensing
If you are still unsure about package size, pricing, or GEMA / P.R.O., the navigator gets you to the right entry in under a minute.
Fitting event packages for this use case
This preselection helps you reach a fitting event setup faster. In quick start, you can compare albums further, save them, and transfer them directly into the event flow.

Quick orientation before you choose
Here you can quickly see which event cases usually fit direct online checkout, which questions determine package and pricing, and when a quote or the navigator is the better path.
When a package is usually enough
Usually for one location or a smaller setup with one final playlist. Pricing starts from EUR 129 net per location and includes ZIP download, invoice, and license documents.
When radio is often the better fit
Usually for multiple locations, ongoing updates, or central control. Smaller-area tariffs currently start from EUR 9.95 per month in the standard setup.
What determines setup and pricing
For packages, the main factors are largest floor area, rotation, and number of locations. For radio, floor area, tariff, and ongoing maintenance matter most.
When self-service often stops being enough
Larger multi-location rollouts, very large spaces, or continuously managed playback programs usually move beyond the simple package path and more toward radio or a custom offer.
Important questions before licensing
The most important questions about what is allowed, what is not, which documents you receive, and the typical pitfalls are clarified here first.
What is allowed and what is not?
The planned music use within the booked event context is allowed, for example at trade fairs, conferences, company events, or similar on-site occasions. Separate video uses, podcasts, standalone livestream formats, apps, products, or other media projects are not automatically included. If you want to use the music in those channels as well, that scope should be checked separately.
What is included after purchase?
After purchase you receive the booked files as a download, plus the invoice and the relevant license documents. For royalty-free solutions this usually includes a release document as well, so you can document the booked usage path if questions come up later.
Do I still need to pay collecting-society fees such as GEMA?
For the royalty-free solutions meant here, no additional GEMA fees apply for the planned use. It is still important that the music is licensed properly and that the booked usage scope matches your actual use case.
Why are Spotify, Apple Music, or private playlists not enough?
Standard streaming subscriptions and private playlists are usually not intended for public or commercial use. For business spaces and events you need a reliable usage record, a fitting license, and often documentation for accounting or follow-up questions from rights holders or collecting societies.
What happens if music is used publicly without the right permissions?
Depending on the case, this can lead to relicensing claims, warnings, blocks, damage claims, or follow-up questions from rights holders and collecting societies. The exact outcome depends on the case, but in commercial use a properly documented licensing path is usually worth it from the start.
Typical requirements
Conference music should be clear, high-quality, and not too dominant. It often supports transitions, welcome moments, breaks, and framing.
When is conference the right entry point?
Choose this entry when music mainly needs to frame stage moments, reception phases, and transitions in a professional way. Typical situations are welcome moments, admission, breaks, awards, or clean transitions between agenda items.
What matters most when choosing music for conferences?
Conference music usually needs clarity, orientation, and professional restraint. It should communicate quality without overpowering speakers, the stage, or the event flow.
What kind of music usually fits this occasion?
This helps you see more quickly which musical direction often works well for this occasion.
