Retrieved 18 Nov. 2019.</ref> The event was covered by 350 international journalists. Although there are attendees from all over the world, the majority of delegates have been from Western Europe and North America. In 2015 many more international delegates registered.<ref>[http://cannes-or-bust.com/cannes-events/midem/ Cannes or Bust website]</ref>

In 2020 and again in 2021, the event went entirely online due to [[COVID-19]] restrictions. Not only was the south of France still undergoing curfews and restrictions, it was felt that many international participants would not be able to reach Cannes, and major companies would be reticent about sending employees into a potentially infectious environment. {{asof|March 2021}} Midem promised to be back in Cannes in June 2022<ref>[http://cannes-or-bust.com/2021/03/midem-2021-will-be-fully-digital/ "MIDEM 2021 will be fully digital"]</ref> but the 2022 event was canceled by its December 2021 announcement.
