NRW MUSIC CONFERENCE IN COLOGNE, ON 24.10.2024

Auf dem Bild steht mit grüner und brauner Schrift auf hellblauem Hintergrund der Text: NRW Music Conference, am 24. Oktober 2024 auf der CMW. CMW ist die Abkürzung für Cologne Music Week.

In two weeks, the NRW Music Conference will take place as part of the Cologne Music Week at the Stadtgarten in Cologne. For the fourth time, the conference is dedicated to current pop culture topics and developments in NRW and also offers the opportunity to expand your pop culture network and get to know each other better.

In the public part of this year’s conference, you can expect exciting presentations from music initiatives and festivals from NRW. Together with the LiveInitiative (LINA) we are deliberately focusing on the players behind the many (pop music) events that make pop culture in NRW possible in the first place.

You can also exchange ideas with experts on practical topics at eye level in the interactive hands-on sessions and share your own points of view at any time. We create a link between theory and practice with committed guests from various pop-cultural and musical fields. You can expect sessions on topics such as the status quo of FLINTA projects or the importance of artists’ normative values.
