Chile positions itself as a hub for the music industry with three major events
Rockódromo Industria in Valparaíso, Pulsar Music Fair in Santiago, and Fluvial in Valdivia will host over 100 international delegates and a full schedule of industry-focused activities.
In the coming weeks, the global music industry will turn its attention to Chile. Three music events taking place in different regions of the country will bring together more than 100 international delegates, hundreds of accredited professionals, over 100 showcases, and a full slate of networking activities, including business meetings, professional exchanges, and sector-driven encounters — positioning Chile as an active force in the regional industry.
These are Rockódromo Industria, Feria de la Música Pulsar and Fluvial, three events with different approaches but a shared goal: to position Chile as a growing music market and support the internationalization of our creative scene.
From November 26 to 30, Valparaíso will host the second edition of Rockódromo Industria, a training-focused gathering held under the umbrella of Rockódromo Festival, one of the region’s most relevant events with more than 20 years of history, organized by the Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Heritage.
The event will offer talks, workshops, panels, and business meetings aimed at the emerging national music scene — all part of a program that complements the festival, which continues to consolidate itself as a stage where Chilean music from all eras and all corners of the country converges.
Featured guests include Nicole and Carlos Cabezas, along with industry agents such as Stefany Navarro (digital marketing), Emiliano Rodríguez (Niceto Club, Argentina), Gerardo Castillo (Aguascalientes Festival Network, Mexico), and Gustavo Cerqueiras (Music InFusion). Aula Rockódromo will also gather emerging artists and agents from Arica to Punta Arenas to learn from mentors such as Wanda Flores and Carlos Salazar.
All activities are free of charge and will be held across several cultural centers in the city.
PULSAR AND FLUVIAL: A GROWING COLLABORATION
The following week in Santiago, from December 5 to 7, Pulsar Music Fair will celebrate its 15th anniversary with a broad and diverse international delegation of more than 30 professionals from around the world. Venue programmers, festival directors, experts, and other industry leaders will spend three days attending nearly 40 live performances included in the fair’s program and connecting with Chilean professionals accredited for this pioneering national event.
The fair also includes a series of training-oriented activities, most notably the first Sync Camp — a program focused on synchronization, designed to prepare Chilean musicians to compose, perform, record, and license music for audiovisual productions. Through these initiatives, Pulsar seeks to continue contributing to industry professionalization and supporting the internationalization of Chilean music, with a strong emphasis on creators. This year, it also strengthens its collaborative relationship with Fluvial, where it will participate with a series of joint activities.
The cycle concludes in Valdivia from December 10 to 13 with the ninth edition of Fluvial, an international gathering aimed at developing the Chilean music industry and known for bringing one of the largest international delegations visiting the country each year. The music and landscape of historic Valdivia serve as a backdrop for agents, managers, producers, and artists to exchange ideas, share knowledge, and build partnerships for global circulation.
Fluvial 2025 will place special emphasis on the synchronization sector, deepening the work started in 2024. This will be reflected in the second edition of Fluvial Sync, an advanced program on music synchronization whose inaugural version marked a milestone in the professionalization of the Chilean music sector regarding audiovisual sync, yielding concrete results such as official placements and signed contracts with international agencies.
All in all, the coming weeks will be key for the development of the local industry and for reinforcing Chile’s position as an active musical player in the Southern Cone — a market worth watching, one that, despite its size, manages to present three industry events in different regions of the country through coordinated efforts between public and private actors, establishing a narrative that highlights the sector’s diversity and growing capacity for collaboration.
