The Matching Engine team welcomed representatives from some of the world's leading Collective Management Organisations (CMOs) to Dublin for the Matching Engine Symposium 2026.

The event provided a unique forum for industry experts, technology leaders, and rights management professionals to explore the latest developments in music royalties technology and discuss the future of music rights administration.

A collaborative industry forum

The symposium was designed to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing across the global music rights ecosystem. Over the course of the event, attendees participated in a series of live product demonstrations, feature showcases, roadmap presentations, and best practice discussions, all centred on helping organisations improve efficiency, transparency, and accuracy in royalty processing.

The gathering offered an opportunity for Collective Management Organisations to exchange experiences, discuss emerging industry challenges, and explore how technology continues to transform the management of music rights and royalties.
