WOMEX, the World Music Expo has announced today that registration for the 26th edition is now open. WOMEX 2020 will take place in October 21-25, 2020 in Budapest, Hungary.
The WOMEX statement indicates that with the recent improvement in controlling the Coronavirus pandemic and the easing of border controls within the European Union and internationally, “we are confident that WOMEX 20 will be able to take place on-site. We are also aware this year’s edition will not be the same as previous years as many nations are still battling with this pandemic. However, we aim to achieve this year’s event as well as in previous editions and to contribute positively to the massively affected global music economy by bringing as many professionals together and facilitating business, creativity and culture as usual for the times ahead.”
Registrations are available as a five-day package and provide access to the full WOMEX program including the trade fair, conferences, showcase concerts, film screenings, opening and award ceremony, along with one-year access to virtualWOMEX (online database).
