The [[Maribor Electronic Destination International Festival]] (MED) has been run since [[established::2008]] by the [[KIBLA Multimedia Centre]] and is a sort of sister project to the (now retired) [[(DA)(NE)S Festival of Microtonal Music]] and a few other festivals and events that are set up by [[KIBLA Multimedia Centre|KIBLA]]. It presents different genres of electronic and electro-acoustic music and focuses on a reconciliation between the more experimental side of electronics with its dancefloor-friendly outlets. Besides concerts and club events, the [[Maribor Electronic Destination International Festival|MED]] also organises workshops, lectures, art projects, and round tables and is thus an important and self-aware contributor to the development of the electronic music scene.

In terms of time and space, the festival has since its start been an evolving event. It was held in two different halls of the [[Pekarna Cultural Centre]], in various places of the [[KIBLA Multimedia Centre]] and in the [[KIBLA Portal]], a recently opened exhibition place for contemporary art. Usually, it lasts for two days.
