Both the rabbit and the snail made it to the end. MENT #12 is officially over, although its echo still resonates.

Help us make MENT #13 better and answer our survey.

“MENT feels like a place where real connections happen and where ideas actually move forward. I am leaving Ljubljana grateful and motivated.”

“Your take on the music industry was inspiring and thought-provoking. I truly appreciated the opportunity to contribute and connect with everyone involved.”

“Good panels and focus on the industry, good vibe, amazing audience and amazing line up: experimental and not taken for granted. It has given me the hope that innovation and another way is still possible in this music industry.”

In four days, more than 6000 listeners, 700 delegates from more than 40 countries and 78 artists gathered in Ljubljana, making this edition unforgettable for all of us.

We really appreciate all of you – starting with everyone involved in the team, the artists, the speakers, the delegates, the Specials, the volunteers, the audience and everyone else involved in the festival. A huge THANK YOU for being an integral part of the work that means so much to us!
