Sync Up is pleased to welcome as a partner WOMEX (The World Music Expo) — the highly respected European conference, headquartered in Berlin, which gathers music festival promoters from around the world. WOMEX's chief executive, Gerald Seligman, will present a keynote address at Sync Up on how the music industry can adapt in a digital world. He will also a moderate panel on the international festival market during a time of economic downturn.
