About WOMEX - World Music Expo

Start filling your agendas... All WOMEX Conference, Film Screening and Showcase schedules are now online. This year's exciting programme includes over 20 Conference Sessions, plus Southeastern European Matchmaking, One-to-One and Round-Table Mentoring Sessions, numerous Networking Meetings and Presentations, 17 Film Screenings and more than 60 Showcase acts.

"WOMEX is the godmother of all world music trade fairs. The one and only must on your calendar."

Zulo (Spain), Social Media Manager, Canteca de Macao

The bustling Trade Fair is one of the top-3 assets of the WOMEX participation and the nerve centre of the annual event. This is where the international world music community meets to do business: artists, festivals, labels, distributors, regional umbrella stands...

WOMEX 11 saw 270 stands and 700 exhibiting companies, including numerous umbrella stands from countries, regions, networks and other joint-venture structures.
