From March 27-28, 2026, for its final event, Europe in Synch returns to Portugal, where it all began.

Act in Synch – The Côa Edition calls for “Rewilding the music culture”.

Two days of discussing and visualizing. Forming and structuring. Describing and conceptualizing.

Rewilding asks us to revisit the core values of our industry as they were historically shaped: what once existed, what has been lost or gained through natural development, and what the consequences of those changes have been. It looks forward as well as back using the future as a source of inspiration for creation by imagining what the industry could become, how we visualise it, and what we truly want and need for it to thrive.

Rewilding is about rediscovering the industry’s original values, understanding what has been lost or gained along the way, and recognising the effects of those shifts. It is future-facing imagining new creative possibilities, visualising a healthier system, and defining what we want and need to build it.

What are we losing, what are we gaining.
AI creation, direct-to-fan platforms, immersive experiences (AR/VR), data-driven marketing, decentralized rights (blockchain),
short-form social discovery, and diversified revenue (sync, gaming, virtual goods).

Our potential outcome:
Operating models, role redefinitions, governance structures, Ecosystem maps, value-chain loops, power diagrams –
The Côa Report.
