DIY magazine’s editorial team made its first visit to this multi venue city conference and showcase event, now in its ninth year, to review the showcase of international artists which included from countries as diverse as Estonia, Latvia, Croatia, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Italy and the UK.
While ostensibly a showcase for artists, there’s a decent article to be made for MENT to be a showcase for Ljubljana itself, all summarized in DIY’s online and print review.
It was in 2015 that DIY had its first European partnership with ESNS (then Eurosonic), with our first DIY showcase stage on a (frozen!) Dutch barge in 2016. With the support of ESNS and Reeperbahn Festival, SoundCzech,and more recently MENT, we have since established strong relationships with the European music industry at Showcase/conference events partnering lead countries, export agencies, ETEP, marketing festivals and label artists across Europe to our global 1m+audience. Europe is a key market for UK music export as well and, despite Brexit, we will continue to help build even stronger relationships going forward.
DIY music group has its own dedicated audience of industry professionals now in excess of 7000 across its website, Newsletter and LinkedIn channels which it uses to market the showcase events, covering the conference and B2B focus of the festival.
Its connections have been built through relationships with other showcases around the world like SXSW and M pour Montreal as well as the many DIY magazine festival partnerships it brokers for the likes if Pohoda, Rockwerchter, Open’er, Mad Cool, Montreux Jazz Festival.
DIY is the only media platform to provide B2B as well as B2C audiences.
