MUSEXPO W. HOLLYWOOD 2010 EVENT SCHEDULE PREVIEW

The 6th annual MUSEXPO kicks off next month, April 25-28 at the five-star London West Hollywood Hotel in West Hollywood. The confab will bring together some of the most influential executives from around the world who are shaping the future of the global music business. This year’s event will host 30 artists from 14 countries and welcome delegates from three dozen countries on five continents. As always, MUSEXPO focuses on the music first and business is a natural second. “MUSEXPO has always been about those who discover and develop music and those who are helping shape the future of the global music business in a positive and inspiring manner,” says A&R Worldwide and MUSEXPO Founder Sat Bisla.

MUSEXPO organizers intend to keep the event intimate, inspiring and informative; after all, this year’s theme is “inspiration and innovation.” The event will retain a similar ethos to the A&R Worldwide networking dinners started back in 2001, which have inspired many other conferences around the world and are the foundation of what MUSEXPO’s ideology is all about. MUSEXPO brings together executives from the music, media and technology sectors from both within the US and abroad in a personal, interactive and forward–thinking manner. In addition, the conference has organized a stellar lineup of showcasing artists! With already almost 100 A&R and publishing executives from around the world attending this year’s MUSEXPO, the expectations are high for many acts to walk away with tangible outcomes, as well as post-signing success, thanks to the development foundation already in place for many of the showcasing artists. In addition, executives attending the event are in for a treat as the diversity of global attendees and companies to network and do business with are the strongest since MUSEXPO launched back in 2005.

Call for WOMEX ‘10 Showcase, Conference and Film Proposals

We are ready to announce our first weighty step towards providing a
lavish selection of the best artists, speakers and films at WOMEX ‘10
Copenhagen from Wednesday, 27 - Sunday, 31 October. This is our annual
call for proposals… http://www.womex.com/lnk/how-to-propose
Deadline is Friday, 16 April 2010.

+++ Calling all world music artists and DJs…

__Artists// Propose to play at the most important international
gathering of world music professionals, WOMEX ‘10 in Copenhagen.
The selected acts will be playing in front of 1,000 international
bookers, countless labels, distributors, journalists … - everyone
you need to help launch, sustain and expand your careers.

WOMEX 09 Showcase act Kouyaté-Neerman expressed great satisfaction
after their show: “The feedback we already have is amazing: a tour in
the UK including the Brighton Festival, a potential festival tour in
Canada and options at the Lincoln Jazz Center in NY, Chicago, agents
and release of the album in Italy, 2 festivals in France, and much
interest from all around Europe and Asia: We could not expect such a
success. This was really worth the investment!!”

In 2009 WOMEX received around 700 artist proposals for almost 40
slots. The selection is done by the WOMEX Jury - the famous
7 Samurai - made up each year of a new generation of world music
passionates.

+++ Calling all potential conference speakers…

__Speakers// Share your Live, Recorded and Digital Experiences as well
as your “Vision Beyond” with your peer professionals at WOMEX.
The four key areas mentioned above will guide this year’s Conference,
designed to serve the industry’s ongoing need for education, exchange
and inspiration.

__Mentors// Offer your expertise. The popular Mentoring Sessions
will be on once again. Delegates can sign up to talk to adepts free
of charge in a variety of fields. WOMEX is looking for mentors -
anyone with valuable advice and feedback to offer.

The 2009 programme saw more than 60 speakers from 30 countries in
around 30 Conference and Mentoring Sessions. Besides selecting the
official Showcases the WOMEX Jury will also be collaborating on the
Conference programme.

Will Page, Chief Economist at PRS for Music in London, noted about
WOMEX 09: “It was the best music event I’ve ever been to, as a speaker
and observer.”

+++ Calling all world music-related filmmakers…

__Filmmakers// Come show your work at the WOMEX/IMZ Film Screenings
and join the World Music Films on Tour programme, a non-profit
distribution project aimed at bringing musical diversity in film and
video to a wider public. WOMEX’s long-time partner IMZ, the
International Music + Media Centre in Vienna, will jury the film
proposals independently. With the IMZ Film Screenings WOMEX also
features an international platform for world music in audio-visual
media.

Forms and more information on http://www.womex.com/lnk/how-to-propose

Best regards from your WOMEX team
