Jazz Room Fest is a member of the World Jazz Network. 
World Jazz Network is essentially the biggest jazz talent exchange in the world. It is a partnership between venues, festivals and other tastemakers in the global jazz industry that aims to build bridges between audiences worldwide.We are organizers, promoters, doers, musicians, and most of all: music lovers. 
Every year, we meet at the World Jazz Conference, initiated by JazzNL and hosted by Amersfoort World Jazz Festival in The Netherlands. At what is often referred to by participants as “A musician’s paradise”, we welcome jazz enthusiasts, musicians, and professionals from all over the world alongside our partners and invite them to mingle and immerse themselves into the experiences these three monikers have to offer together.
WJN WEBSITE

Partners of the World Jazz Network collaborate based on a mutual relationship in the spirit of transparency and reciprocity. Every year, each partner presents an extraordinary talent from their respective home country at the International Jazz Laureates Festival, embedded in Amersfoort World Jazz Festival (AFWJF). While JazzNL facilitates these visits for both our partners and their exceptional talents of choice, partnership is not without obligation: we expect and encourage partners to welcome at least one exceptional talent back to their own home countries per year, aiming to facilitate the ultimate world jazz exchange. This way, we all contribute to mobility for exceptional talents across the globe, through a network based on trust, shared goals, and reciprocity.
So effectively, for WJN Partners, a visit to Amersfoort is threefold: they get to enjoy Amersfoort World Jazz Festival, meet friends old and new at the World Jazz Conference, and present and discover the latest global talent at the International Jazz Laureates Festival, all over the course of just four days. 
Of course, the World Jazz Network offers a framework for international talent to develop and showcase itself in an international environment - on fair terms. However, World Jazz Network also aims to increase the geographical scope for delegates. Musicians and professionals are encouraged to expand their networks and craft new, meaningful relationships that can lead to exciting projects in the future. WJN aims for the future, and as our survey results have shown: our approach works. Please join us in our cause! 
Since 2016 we organize the exclusive World Jazz Conference. The conference takes place during the Amersfoort World Jazz Festival. The aim of the World Jazz Conference is to host an eco-system of strong players from all over the globe, to share visions and enhance collaboration on an international level. Important elements are key-note speeches, discussion groups, multi-lateral meetings, network drinks and, most importantly, a series of concerts by young and talented laureates, endorsed by festivals from the World Jazz Network.
