FEDERATION of MUSIC CONFERENCES (FoMC)

About

Federation of Music Conferences (FOMC)

A European alliance of leading music conferences working together to foster dialogue, coordination, and sustainable development across the music sector.

What It Is

The Federation of Music Conferences is a collaborative network of major music events and conferences across Europe. FOMC was founded to increase coordination between music markets, support sector development, and amplify the role of conferences as hubs for innovation, export, and public dialogue.

Why It Matters

Despite their influence, music conferences often operate in isolation. FOMC addresses this by creating a shared platform for advocacy, professional development, and European-level coordination — from export and mobility, to sustainability, startup integration, and cultural policy exchange.

MESO’s Role

MESO is part of the executive management team and helps shape the federation’s development, visibility, and collaboration formats.

Get Involved

The Federation invites new members and collaborations with export offices, institutions, ministries, and networks.
