Following a first edition that marked a milestone in the professionalization of the Chilean music sector around audiovisual synchronization—with concrete results such as official synchronizations and contracts signed with international agencies—Fluvial is launching the call for applications for the second edition of Fluvial Sync: Advanced Program in Music Synchronization.

Fluvial invites you to be part of our Advanced Program in Music Synchronization. This program aims to introduce music catalogs to international Music Supervisors and other potential buyers, fostering music exports and generating new business opportunities by getting the training needed to become reliable sources of music and information.

The program will feature progressive training modules by various key players from the music and audiovisual industries, who will share their knowledge from diverse perspectives, including legal, administrative, technical, logistical, economic issues, and marketing.

This program will run from October to December 2025, featuring both online and in-person activities as part of Fluvial 2025, which will take place from December 10 to 13 in Valdivia. Participants can take part in either or both formats.
