Dear WOMEXicans,
Great news! Since mid-April our Berlin office has been drowning in WOMEX 08 programme proposals. Advertisement and Accommodation Form are available online now, we are looking for WOMEX 08 photographers / WOMEX Guide essays... and much more.
Read this newsletter carefully!
Programme Proposals Received
We have received more than 600 Showcase proposals for WOMEX 08, about the same as in the last years. Thank you very much to all submitters and many thanks again to the Sonicbids support team! The new online submission process is more complex (and we were able to help get online anybody having difficulties) but at the same time a major improvement as the Jury and we can already spend all available time - before the Jury meeting - viewing the Electronic Press Kits on Sonicbids and listening to all the great music. So artists will find that they're in fact helped. Their music is getting all the time and attention it deserves.
Around 60 Conference proposals with a broad range of interesting topics including also Mentor Sessions and Master Classes have reached us as well. We are looking forward to a very promising WOMEX 08 Conference progamme!
Reach the World Music Community
Advertise at WOMEX and the international world music community is
yours! Here are six chances to target your audience (note the new
WOMEX Bag Name Tag!):

Book your Hotel Now
Our Sevillan travel & accommodation partner Viajes El Corte Inglés has
put together a brochure in which you can find information about hotels
in Sevilla. Once you have chosen your hotel, download the
Accommodation Form (available now!), fill it out and fax it back to
them (not to us!).

Expo Guide Warning
We have heard from several WOMEX delegates that a new company based in Mexico is sending out misleading mailings under the name of Expo Guide - very similar to the Fair Guide mailings from Construct Data. As before, if you don't read the small print you might think it is from WOMEX. It is not: We are in no way affiliated. Only sign if you want to pay over 1000 euros per year to be listed in their guide. If you have been contacted by Construct Data (after 13 February 2007!) or Commercial Online Manuals S de RL de CV and have signed their Fair Guide / Expo Guide update offer because you thought it was sent by WOMEX, please let us know, mailto: media@womex.com.
Best regards from your WOMEX team
