The 7th edition of Talkfest - International Music Festivals Forum will take place in Lisbon on March 15 and 16, 2018. It is with pleasure that we announce the first 16 speakers for different areas of Talkfest’s professional programming.


The Iberian Festival Awards gala, has already a record of applications, with less than 20 days to complete the registration from festivals, brands and media partners.
