Join a special session held each year for all new delegates attending WOMEX. This essential guide will help you navigate the event’s five days and experience the diverse cultures and subcultures that make up WOMEX with sensitivity and respect. Alex Walter, Director of WOMEX, along with 2025 jury members Marija Vitas and Patrice Agbokou, will share their advice on attending WOMEX: how to network at the Trade Fair; how to get the most out of the Conference; and how delegates can connect during and after the event with artists and other music professionals. They will also share insights on submitting Conference, Film, and Showcase proposals for future editions and answer your questions.
