International trade shows
Zone Franche’s presence at trade shows is essential for the visibility and structuring of the sector. In this way, the network ensures global visibility for the network and its members ; it promotes its projects and values ; it provides networking opportunities and professional meetings (speed-meetings, conferences, aperitif-meetings, etc.); and it lays the foundations for the development of projects, particularly those with an international dimension.
In two very specific cases, Babel Music XP and WOMEX, where the professional stakes are crucial for world music players, the network provides its members with organizational and economic support. On behalf of its members, it books and rents stands, and coordinates equipment and accreditation requirements. ; it covers part of the cost of stands and, in some cases, accreditations, giving its members more favorable conditions of access to these markets. Every year, the scheme benefits some fifty cultural operators who are members of the network.
In other situations (MaMA, Trans, etc.), Zone Franche’s partnership with these organizers enables us to obtain accreditation at reduced rates.
Zone Franche and its members will be present at the following trade shows :
