Music industry professionals and tech innovators are preparing to converge on New York City for the milestone 10th anniversary of Mondo.NYC, taking place October 14-17, 2025.
The four-day conference and showcase festival returns to the Arlo Williamsburg Hotel on Brooklyn’s waterfront as its headquarters, bringing together global leaders from music, technology, media, academia, and government sectors.
Mondo.NYC transforms Brooklyn’s waterfront into the epicenter of global music-tech innovation for four impactful days.
This year’s program features over 50 panels and discussions led by more than 150 executives and entrepreneurs examining the evolving relationship between music and technology.
Key sessions include “State of the Music Business,” “Capital, Creativity & the Future of Music Rights,” and several focused on artificial intelligence‘s growing role in the industry.
The event will also provide practical resources through Pro Bono Sessions for independent artists and workshops covering international touring logistics.
Attendees will gain access to 35+ artist showcases across venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn, showcasing breakthrough talent from around the world.
For those unable to attend in person, select programming will stream via Mondo’s YouTube channel, though the organizers emphasize the irreplaceable value of face-to-face networking opportunities that fill the schedule, including daily receptions hosted by industry players like KOSIGN+Kobalt, RIAA, and APM Music.
“The music ecosystem faces unprecedented disruption and opportunity,” noted one event organizer, highlighting how Mondo serves as neutral ground where traditional industry figures and tech innovators can collaborate on solutions.
Panel discussions will explore pressing issues like digital rights management, streaming economics, and how artists can protect their interests in an AI-driven landscape.
Independent artists attending will learn effective strategies for Spotify campaigns and other promotional tools that can maximize their streaming presence and audience growth.
Early registrants can take advantage of 15% discount tickets available now through pre-registration for this landmark event.
While no COVID-19 vaccine or testing requirements are in place for the 2025 edition, organizers will follow all applicable health guidelines and encourage attendees to take appropriate precautions.
The conference will feature representatives from major Performance Rights Organizations to help educate artists on royalty collection opportunities for their compositions.
The conference structure maintains its traditional format with daytime panels at the Arlo Williamsburg and evenings dedicated to showcase performances, creating an all-encompassing experience that bridges business discourse and artistic discovery at this significant milestone for the event.
Students, educators, and startup representatives can benefit from 20% discounts on badge prices ranging from $249 to $899 with early bird options providing additional savings.
