About WOMEX Expo and Festival
Daga Gregorowicz, photo: Treti Pivni / promotional materials WOMEX is the largest international event dedicated to 'world music'. In 2019 the expo, whose first edition took place in 1994, is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
The program of the event annually includes conferences, expos, meetings, film projections and showcases. Over 2,700 professionals from around 90 countries participate in each edition of the conference, which makes WOMEX the largest and the most diverse industry networking platform in the world.
In this year's edition, over 300 artists will perform on seven stages. Even though WOMEX is an event centred around broadly understood world music, other music genres will be present as well. The organisers offer a wide genre spectrum, ranging from various types of traditional music to jazz or classical music.
