ANNOUNCEMENT OF WOMEX NIGHTTIME VENUE
ONLINE STAND SALE NOW OPEN
Dear Media Colleagues,
We can finally divulge the nighttime venue for WOMEX 10...
ANNOUNCEMENT OF WOMEX NIGHTTIME VENUE
For the second year Copenhagen's high-profile venue,
DR Koncerthuset, will host all WOMEX Night Showcases.
Prime sound quality was the distinguishing mark of last year's showcase
production according to the delegates' feedback. The striking Jean Nouvel
building will be accommodating all WOMEX stages under one roof.
The "blue cube" recently received the Wallpaper Design
Award 2010 in the category "best new public house".
The complex consists of 4 halls with the main auditorium seating 1,800 people
and is run by Danish Broadcasting (DR). It was inaugurated in January 2009 after
a 6-year construction period.
WOMEX is also looking forward to collaborating with the Roskilde
Festival team once again. They contributed a significant part to last
year's perfect concert conditions for the showcases.
The nighttime
venue DR Koncerthuset and the new daytime venue Forum Copenhagen are on the
same metro line M1 - only five stations away. The metro will
also be running throughout the night every 15-20 minutes.
ONLINE STAND SALE NOW OPEN
The WOMEX 10
online stand sale is now open.
The WOMEX survey confirms that the trade fair is the most
important element of the yearly WOMEX experience. WOMEX 09 saw 650
exhibiting companies from 62 countries at 280
stands. 2,700 delegates from 92 countries
attended the 5-day event altogether.
On account of the great number of small-sized independent companies
which make up the international world, roots and folk community, WOMEX
offers mini booths with a standard set-up at a
comparably low price.
The
trade fair arrangement at the new daytime venue Forum Copenhagen
differs considerably from last year. It's one big hall encircled by a
gallery on the first floor. Conference areas and
daycases will be closely integrated and invite everybody to stop by.
The trade fair will be open from Thursday through to Saturday only.
Join us on Sunday for the highly appreciated WOMEX Awards Ceremony and
a final Networking Breakfast.
Please find trade fair plan, opening hours,
stand photo and further information for exhibitors

Kind regards from your WOMEX team
