Summus is a Latin word that describes the greatness of things. In our case, SUMMUS is a summit to celebrate the greatness of music. A place where experts from all around the music industry meet to share lessons learnt, build consensus about today's challenges, and design forthcoming landscapes.
SUMMUS is an ideal forum to debate and learn in details about proposals and necessities for identification and distribution of rights using avant-garde tools

Several projects aim to create a global consolidated database of music: a repository containing creators and owners information. In this panel we will hear the lessons learnt from previous and current experiences. Based on real life examples, we would like to come up with a set of recommendations for anyone working in this field.
Youtube is a universe itself, as powerful as sometimes complex to understand from the licensor point of view. The panel aims to attune digital service providers, networks, CMOs, labels, publishers, and artists, by going through several use cases together.
The amount of usage data a CMO is required to process has exploded since the arrival of digital services and is expected to grow exponentially along the next years. This panel will discuss the technological challenges this introduces as well as the different platforms that address these challenges.
Every distribution agent in the copyright industry is required to explain to its members or customers what does the cheques paid account for. The usability, intuitiveness, and flexibility of the dashboard first; the transparency, traceability, and auditability of the data second; and the speed at which this data is exposed third; make the three legs on which a trustful relationship – and this panel – stands.
Electronic dance music has managed to grow a huge audience and a unique culture. While it generates yearly millions of euros for the copyright industry, it is still a challenge to track and distribute those.
An open discussion about challenges, tools, data and technologies that exist today to describe the nature of the audio content in television broadcasts.
Monitoring music usage in venues requires specific sampling, communication, logistic and technology strategies. This panel is about sharing experiences in this arena from different perspectives – clubs owners, CMOs, artists, and technologists – to come up with a summary of the state of the art and a set of recommendations.
