Meet Me At The Hotel returns to Amsterdam's Room Mate Aitana next week for its fifth anniversary, bringing together music industry professionals for four days of panels, networking sessions, and brand activations from October 21-24. The independent event transforms the waterfront hotel into a hub for the electronic music business, with dedicated spaces for recording, content creation, and professional development.

MMATH's network of partners spans audio technology, media, artist development, music rights, and hospitality. The event leverages the natural networking dynamic of hotels—where chance encounters in lobbies and elevators can turn into business opportunities—by consolidating the entire conference under one roof.

AI Rights and Royalties Take Center Stage

One of the week's key sessions tackles generative AI and its impact on music ownership and compensation. Dealing With AI: Rights, Royalties and Real Deals runs Thursday, October 22, from 1pm to 2:30pm in the Alicia & Carla Room. Presented with music law specialists De Vos & Partners, the panel addresses copyright, royalties, and the legal implications of AI-generated music as the technology becomes increasingly relevant to production workflows.

Technical Sessions and Networking Anchors

RCF is hosting two "Deal with the Bass" panels focused on low-frequency management and sound system sizing—Thursday, October 22, from 10am to 11am, and Friday, October 23, from 10:30am to 11:30am. The sessions offer practical applications for DJs and audio professionals navigating the technical decisions behind club-ready sound systems.

Pacer marks its official launch with What Grows in the Dark, an eight-hour program developed with Circuit Group and La Zic that combines music business panels and networking on Thursday, October 22, from 3pm to 11pm.

EDM.com is hosting a four-hour networking gathering in the Lounge Bar on Friday, October 23, from 1pm to 5pm, featuring DJ sets and a Blackbox multi-cam livestream series. The Industry Check-In, MMATH's flagship networking evening, runs Friday from 6pm to midnight in the RCF Arena and Foyer, hosted alongside Room Mate Aitana and Fourvenues.

Recording Studios and Brand Activations

Room Mate Aitana's King Suite has been converted into a recording studio by DistroKid, while JK Benelux and R3ST have set up a Recovery Suite for attendees needing downtime between meetings. Waterdrop is running a hydration bar, Sprayground is bringing an Image Lab, and Thof Events is operating a pop-up restaurant.

R/HOOD, a platform for underrepresented DJs and producers, is a key partner, connecting artists with gigs and brand collaborations. Cowboy is providing VIP e-bike mobility from the hotel entrance, while a limousine service powered by CUPRA offers additional transport options.

MMATH runs October 21-24 at Room Mate Aitana in Amsterdam. Event access and registration details are available on the MMATH program page.
