3 - 4th April 2009 Paris - Cirque d'Hiver Bouglione          

For the fifth edition, Qwartz organizes the International Forum dedicated to Electronic Music and Associated Arts again.  

             This forum is the unique event in the world gathering professionals of electronic music and digital creation. Throughout the event, we create a dynamical space for professional exchanges and meetings. The forum is dedicated to innovative projects and pioneering technologies too as they are both two relevant vectors of the digital culture. The forum will highlight digital sector and its future trends by organizing projections and conferences: electronic music's issues as well as new economical approaches will be discussed.

            Labels, institutions, press organs, event organizers from 11 different countries were participating to the last edition.

            The next Forum will take place on the 3rd and the 4th of April 2009 in the prestigious Parisian venue Le Cirque d'Hiver – Bouglione. 100 stands are available on the Forum. Friday the 3rd will be exclusively reserved to professional meetings and networkings, while the forum will be open to the public on the Saturday.

            We organize three special spaces dedicated to Japan, Australia and to Creative Commons (CC) licences inside the Forum. The Japanese and the Australian Villages will welcome all the actors of the Japanese and Australian music sector who specially come in France for Qwartz. We are pleased to introduce and gather the actors of the worldwide CC community on the Forum throughout a special village.           

            Every exhibitor is invited to the Closing Award Ceremony on Friday the 3rd of April. A cocktail is organized after the Ceremony in the Forum.
