In March, in cooperation with Latvia Travel, Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027 took part in three international travel media networking events: International Media Marketplace UK in London, International Media Marketplace Berlin and International Media Marketplace Paris.
These events are organised by TravMedia and are considered among the leading global networking platforms connecting travel destinations with international media – journalists, editors, broadcasters and content creators.
The IMM format is based on pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings with media representatives, allowing destinations to pitch story ideas, discuss press trips and develop collaborations within a highly efficient networking setting.
What did this bring for Liepāja 2027?
These meetings often become the starting point for future articles, reports and media visits that help tell the story of a destination worldwide.
Thank you to Latvia Travel for the cooperation and for jointly strengthening the international visibility of Latvia and Liepāja!
On 11 April, Liepāja 2027 will take to the stage at Tallinn Music Week 2026’s City Stage to present the concept of Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027: (un)rest.
With this open call for artists to participate in the exhibition and symposium, the association “ASTE. Art, Science, Technology, Education” launches the project “ElektrON – The Future of Amber”, interpreting the heritage of amber—along with the future potential of other fossil materials—through a symbiosis of art and science, within the programme “Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027”. Applications to participate in the project can be submitted by 23:59 on 19 April.
On July2, experimental music festival Skaņu Mežs will hold an exclusive mini-edition in the city of Liepāja, featuring musical acts and sound artists from Latvia, Japan, Norway, United Kingdom, Sweden and Germany.
