ITALIAN DRINK MEETING

The Italian Drink Meeting will follow the international conference “Bridging Sounds: Jazz in Global Dialogue – Music, Cultural Welfare and Social Cohesion”, organised by I-Jazz as part of Visa for Music 2026.

The conference will explore the role of jazz and world music in fostering intercultural dialogue, cultural welfare and social cohesion, with a particular focus on the Mediterranean as a shared space for artistic exchange and cooperation.

Following the morning programme, the Italian Drink Meeting will bring together the Italian delegation, international cultural professionals, conference speakers and guests of Visa for Music.

The reception will provide an informal setting in which to continue the conversations initiated during the conference, establish new professional relationships and explore future opportunities for artistic and cultural cooperation, while enjoying a selection of Italian food and wine.

Attendance is free of charge and limited to a maximum of 50 registered guests. Advance registration is required. Once capacity has been reached, additional registrations will be placed on a waiting list.
