Creator Summit
What is the GEMA Creator Summit?
The GEMA Creator Summit brings together music creators, social media experts, and key players from the music and content industries in one place for the first time.
In addition to insights, tools, and strategies, the summit offers plenty of opportunities for genuine exchange within your peer group—including relaxed networking moments over refreshing drinks.
The focus is on questions such as:
- How are TikTok, Shorts, and Reels changing today’s release strategies?
- Which formats will really work for music promotion in 2026?
- How can artists and creators authentically gain reach and build a sustainable community?
- What does copyright on social media mean for you?
Whether you’re a social media newbie or an experienced creator, this summit offers you new perspectives, genuine connections, and actionable insights for your work.

Event Schedule
Why a Creator Summit—and why now?
Why social media is indispensable for musicians – and what opportunities it presents.
- “From 0 to 100,000 monthly listeners—how can I effectively leverage social media in 2026?” (Songpush/ENKIME)
Max Vedder from ENKIME and Markus Cremer from SongPush will show you how to get the most out of social media even on a small budget.
- “Who’s allowed to do what? Music use on social media from a legal perspective” (GEMA/Bosworth Music)
In this workshop with Dominique Banditt from Bosworth Music and Diana Zettl from GEMA, learn how to use music on social media in a legally compliant and creative way—from copyright and licensing to the role of labels, publishers, and platforms.
- “Image & Brand Building as a Musician: How to Find Your Unique Brand and Establish It on Social Media” (Superlifepromo)
Milla Meißner and Markus Haberer from Superlifepromo will discuss how you, as an artist, can develop a clear, authentic brand—and why that is exactly what determines your success today.
- “More Than Just Reach – Why a Genuine Community Makes All the Difference” (Melanie Rudolph of Based Digital & Peggy Adamu)
It’s easy to gain followers, but building a genuine community is not. In this workshop, Melanie Rudolph from Based Digital and Peggy Adamu, content expert and head of a marketing team at a major label, will show what it really takes to turn reach into genuine connection and transform followers into people who stick around, get involved, and truly feel engaged.
- “Artist Development Today: From Talent to a Long-Term Career” (Giovanni Acri, Good Kids)
Giovanni Acri, better known as Jovi Only, offers insights into the modern music industry and shows how to build genuine artist careers today.
- “Raise Your Voice: Your Voice as a GEMA (Social Media) Ambassador” (Carolin Niedermann, GEMA / Richard Beck)
We’ll debunk common GEMA myths and work together to develop a transparent ambassador strategy where you can actively help shape content and communities that will provide greater clarity about GEMA in the future.
