It’s the place to make new connections and even new deals. After the day program, it’s time for the ESNS showcasefestival.

If you have secured a spot on the stage, you will also be automatically a participant in the ESNS Exchange program. This European Talent Exchange Program facilitates bookings of European acts at festivals outside their home country. Together with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), export offices, and local media, ESNS also provides broad media exposure. In other words, this exchange program gives an impulse to the international careers of European artists!
