Events

DDEX hosts a number of events during the year, including a member-only Plenary meeting in the Autumn to create and revise the standards themselves and generally advance the work of the organisation. DDEX also speaks regularly at conferences around the world on issues related to metadata and music value chain operations.

DDEX hosts seminars, webinars and workshops which provide opportunities to learn more about the standards and their implementation. These provide a general introduction  to DDEX as well as a comprehensive explanation of each DDEX standard and the approach that should be adopted with regard to certain subjects common to all the standards. Videos of previous DDEX events can be found on our YouTube channel.
