WOMEX CONFERENCE * Premiere! International Matchmaking for Publishers

(Eric van Nieuwland) 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."
