After months of planning, rethinking, debating, emailing, and exploring, we are proud to present the full programme of the MENT Ljubljana CONFERENCE 2026. 💯
This year’s gathering brings together a wide range of debates, interviews, mentoring sessions, networking events, listening sessions, receptions, and presentations – all with the shared goal of highlighting diverse scenes, ideas, and stories, exploring how music organisations operate across different countries, and above all connecting music activists, workers, artists, and audiences.

The conference unfolds in a strong independent spirit, driven by a curiosity about new musical adventures, from local and regional perspectives to European and global contexts.

We are announcing more than 30 newly confirmed guests, completing the lineup of conference speakers, moderators, and mentors for 2026. More than 70% of all speakers will appear at the MENT Conference for the very first time. In total, this year’s programme features more than 80 speakers, 25 panels, presentations, and interviews, 8 mentoring sessions, 7 official networking events, and 6 receptions.

MENT je festival glasbenih odkritij, ki v simbiozi s konferenco omogoča predstavitev glasbenih izvajalcev iz cele Evrope pred mednarodnimi glasbenimi profesionalci in občinstvom. Festival deluje kot platforma, kjer se vsakoletno srečujejo glasbeniki, različni strokovnjaki in ljubitelji glasbe. Osrednje poslanstvo festivala je predstavljanje novih talentov, spodbujanje ustvarjalnosti in omogočanje priložnosti za spoznavanje v neodvisni glasbeni industriji. Na enajsti ediciji (februarja 2025) je v štirih dneh na 13 odrih širom Ljubljane nastopilo 82 izvajalcev iz 27 držav.

Mednarodna konferenca se osredotoča na glasbeno industrijo in kreativnost. Konference se je udeležilo 700 tujih in domačih glasbenih profesionalcev (organizatorjev festivalov, založnikov, koncertnih agentov, menedžerjev, predstavnikov koncertnih prizorišč, medijev in drugih delegatov). Sodelujoči delegati so prišli iz več kot 30 držav.
