The showcase festival and music conference SHIP held every September in Šibenik, has officially become a member of the prestigious European and international network, the Federation of Music Conferences (FoMC).

Joining this network of leading European music platforms represents great professional recognition for the festival to date, positioning Croatia as an essential hub for European and global music professionals.

Membership in the Federation of Music Conferences enables stronger networking and standardized cooperation among key stakeholders in the music industry. Launched with the support of the European Commission, the network’s core mission is to foster international talent exchange, share industry knowledge, and collaboratively address the challenges faced by modern music festivals and conferences. Through this platform, SHIP becomes an equal partner in shaping European industry trends and facilitating the flow of artists and delegates, which will expand export opportunities for regional talent.

For We Move Music Croatia, this membership confirms that the festival’s quality and impact have been recognized on an international level within just a few years of its launch.

The announcement arrives as the organizational team prepares for the fourth edition of the SHIP Festival, taking place from September 10 to 13, 2026, in Šibenik.
