Held each spring in Tallinn, Estonia since 2009, Tallinn Music Week (TMW) is a weeklong celebration of talent, curiosity, creativity, freedom and equality.

2017 festival

Having started out as a music industry conference and talent showcase festival, TMW has broadened its concept further into an all-encompassing city festival, covering arts, design, technology, city space and food culture, and various societal issues.

Already in its 9th year, TMW is one of Europe’s fastest growing city festivals and major meeting points for Eastern, Western and Central European creative communities. The festival is presented by Nordea Bank.

TMW 2017 themes and topics

• Sustainable Development Goals, including sustainable city topics
• Equality and diversity
• Integration of communities
• Estonia’s presidency of the EU Council (Digital Single Market etc)
• Media’s challenges in the era of „fake news“

The core agenda of TMW 2017 is creative impact with shared vision and common action, encompassing subjects like sustainable development, equality, diversity and special needs, future skills and smarter governance. In 2017 Estonia will host the EU Presidency, so topics like digital single market and stronger European Union will also form an essential part of the conference discussions.
