Dear WOMEXicans,
A budding new service will be on offer this year at WOMEX 10 Copenhagen: Matchmaking sessions for publishers will commence for the first time...
BRAND NEW INITIATIVE: MATCHMAKING FOR PUBLISHERS
Premiere! WOMEX will be offering Matchmaking Sessions for publishers attending the 2010 edition. This new service aims to promote networking opportunities at WOMEX and connect interested business partners from around the world - free of charge.
WOMEX Matchmaking will orientate itself towards music publishers who want to offer their services as a sub-publisher and/or are looking for a sub-publisher in other areas of the world. WOMEX provides a perfect platform to host this new feature due to its high proportion of international delegates. Last year at WOMEX 09, there were over 200 music publishers alone, representing around 50 different countries.
Birgit Böcher, deputy managing director of the German Music Publishers' Association responds: "We readily welcome this initiative and will support it . This offer of international Matchmaking for publishers of world music couldn't come at a more perfect time."
Eva Kiltz, managing director of the Association of Independent Music Companies from Germany notes, "The Matchmaking at WOMEX offers an excellent chance for networking with internationally orientated music publishers and presents the seminal business sector of Sub-Publishing with its own unique platform. This new service at WOMEX receives our full endorsement."
A Conference Session based around the same issues will provide an introduction to the Matchmaking at WOMEX 10: "The Secret of Sub- Publishing: What is a sub-publisher, how do I find a sub-publisher, should I take on the responsibilities of a sub-publisher myself?".

SURF A COUCH IN COPENHAGEN
One frequent comment in last year's WOMEX survey was that Copenhagen is a rather pricey place to visit. So, we've been asking ourselves: How can we make spending time in the Danish capital easier and more personal for you; music professionals from around the globe? We believe that CouchSurfing.org could be a good solution.
CouchSurfing is an international non-profit network that connects travellers with locals in over 230 countries and territories around the world. Since 2004, members have been using the system to come together for cultural exchange, friendship, and learning experiences.
We have invited WOMEXicans based in Copenhagen to register with CouchSurfing.org and offer their sofa to you, WOMEX delegates from all over the world, for a few days. WOMEX is all about networking, isn't it? And maybe one day you will be offering your couch to WOMEX delegates coming to your town?
Registering for CouchSurfing.org is free of charge. However, if you would like to become a verified member (and have your postal address confirmed for safety reasons) you will be asked to make a small donation. More information on our website
