MENT 2026

The twelfth edition of Ment is intended – as the organizers themselves describe – for music fans, professionals, and anyone curious about new sounds and grooves. Each year, the festival features dozens of artists, primarily from Central Europe but also from further afield, performing in more than a dozen clubs in the Slovenian capital. Representatives of the music industry also come to Ljubljana – in 2025, there were approximately 700 of them from over thirty countries.

The networking mission at Ment Festival, organized by Culture Hub Poland, provides a unique opportunity to establish contacts with representatives of the European music industry, including key CD and LP distributors, representatives of music publishers, clubs and concert venues, festival organizers, and bookers. Furthermore, Culture Hub Poland covers accreditation costs for the conference and festival segments and provides reimbursement of travel and accommodation expenses up to PLN 2000 gross.

We invite people who are familiar with the realities of the European music markets, have experience in collaborating with the foreign music industry, and can specify the precise purpose of the visit to participate in the recruitment process.

Those interested are asked to fill out application form by 23 December 2025. The recruitment results will be announced on the Culture Hub Poland website by 29 December 2025.
