First of all, we want to thank HORIZONT, the leading magazine for marketeers in Germany, to support NEXT14 at such a great extend. We are delighted to welcome their digital editor-in-chief Volker Schütz as NEXT Chairman this year.

Jochen Wegner, editor-in-chief of our media partner ZEIT online will also be on stage. Together with our programme curator Monique van Dusseldorp he will lead through the talks and panels on our Dome Stage.

We also welcome the economy magazines Capital and Business Punk as partners of NEXT14. We were flattered by Business Punk calling NEXT Berlin “Europe’s most exciting digital conference” in its printed issue recently.

Furthermore we want to thank the tech and start-up media who supported our Start-up Pitch: The Next Web, Gründerszene, Venture Village, Rude Baguette, Foundum, VC Magazin and The Hundert.

And we are looking forward to our media partner t3n organising a meet-up of the t3n 100 at NEXT14. Many of the most important digital minds in German speaking countries will join and t3n is planning to collect their statements on the future of digital business to publish them on their channels.

We are also delighted to have the support of Curved and Vice Magazin’s Motherboard as well as of Huffington Post, who have published a text selection of NEXT blogger Adam Tinworth’s articles on their German site.

And last but not least we want to thank the e-commerce and marketing plattforms etailment, werbeplanung.at, IWB, Marketing Börse and Mobile Groove Media for pushing our conference.

In addition to the representatives of our official media partners, more than 100 journalists and bloggers of international media will gather at the NEXT Berlin conference on May 5-6. Among them will be reporters for Bloomberg, The Economist, The Guardian, The Next Web, GigaOm, Wired, Deutsche Welle, Süddeutsche Zeitung, ZEIT, Spiegel, Focus, Stern, FAZ, BILD, Berliner Morgenpost, W&V, Germany’s biggest public TV stations ZDF and ARD (rbb) as well as influential bloggers such as Ayelet Noff, Sascha Pallenberg and Sven Wiesner.
