Conference
If you are organizing a conference and music is played at the beginning, during, and/or during breaks of the event (e.g., background music or a live performance by a singer/band), you will need a public performance license for the music. The licensing agreement for publicly performing musical works at a conference must be finalized at least 2 working days before the event. The amount of the licence fee depends on whether admission to the event organised is for a fee or free of charge.
For conferences with paid admission, the licensing fee is 0.5% of ticket sales, but not less than €10 per event day.
For conferences with free admission, the licensing fee is €10 per event day.
Note: The license fees mentioned here do not include VAT, which, according to the Value-Added Tax Act, will be added by EAÜ. The VAT amount will be calculated on the EAÜ commission fee and shown as a separate line on the invoice issued by EAÜ.
These licensing fee rates are valid until December 31, 2024.
