WOMEX

WOMEX (short for Worldwide Music Expo) is an international world music support and development project based in Berlin, whose main event is an exposition held annually in different locations throughout Europe.

It integrates a trade fair, showcases, conferences, film screenings, networking sessions, and awards.

Musicians and their labels have the possibility to make contacts for international touring and album distribution.

Although WOMEX is primarily intended for professionals and trade visitors within the world music scene, locals and tourists can buy tickets for most of the evening showcases.

Since then, WOMEX presents its awards to artists or professionals each year for special achievements in the international music industry.
