Because this year’s motto is CHANGE.

We all long for CHANGE. Years and years we felt, sensed, talked about CHANGE. We starved for CHANGE. But then again, there was doubt: Where can I start? What can I contribute? What if I fail?

The recent Covid crisis shed light to the possibility of rapid and profound CHANGE. Crises are able to disrupt our daily lives, work and environment. That CHANGED the perspective for many of us.

We believe CHANGE is good. And CHANGE is always now.

CHANGE as in…

CHANGE as in TRANSFORM, IMPACT and EXPERIENCE. Let’s make CHANGE happen – together, via re-invention, disruption, and discussion. Let us UNITE to grow new ecosystems, create a greener industry, build diverse communities and combine forces to actively CHANGE our society and economy.

This is the programme scheme of MW:M21:

The Maintracks will build the discourse part of the conference, whereas Act focuses on current developments in music and music business, United features new ways of collaboration and Grow examines new ways of funding and empowerment. The Sidetracks will accompany and frame the discourse with hands-on workshops, networking and experience driven formats.

What we offer:

• Gateway to 3000+ attendees from the music business in Berlin and abroad.
• Networking and 1:1 meeting opportunities with a progressive and diverse audience
• Free access to the three days of Most Wanted: Music 2021 (26.-28.10.21) for you, your co-organizers and speakers
• Your contribution will be featured as part of the main conference programme in MW:M21’s marketing and press communication, at the conference website www.mwm-berlin.de and at MW:M21’s official conference platform.
