What does FWMF mean in FORUMS

The Forum of Worldwide Music Festivals (FWMF) is a non-profit organisation that provides an international platform for music festivals and their stakeholders to connect, interact and exchange experiences. FWMF fosters collaboration between music festivals, artists, industry representatives and other related organisations as well as works to promote music festivals around the world.

The FWMF works to facilitate networking between members; provide support in marketing and promotion; strengthen global engagement; enable transparent sharing of best practices; encourage sustainable economic growth for stakeholders; and expand access to music festivals within a broader social setting.

The FWMF organises various activities such as conferences, workshops, webinars, studies, interviews with experts, research projects, publications and exchanges which aim to bring together stakeholders from all over the world. These activities help increase knowledge of audiences’ experiences at these events throughout different countries in order to better understand this dynamic sector.

The FWMF welcomes any festival or event organisers who are involved in creating live events such as concerts, shows or open air events. This also includes promoters, venues and companies that support these events such as sponsors, technology providers or media companies.
