Here are some important things to know:

TICKETS

Registration will be located in a tent at Spielbudenplatz close to our NEXT Lounge (NIO, Reeperbahn 1). Just come to our registration desk, say your name and you’ll receive your badge for NEXT15 and Reeperbahn Festival. Tickets are transferable before the first check-in.

Opening hours for the registration desk:
Wednesday 3 pm – 8 pm, Thursday 8 am – 9 pm, Friday 9 am – 6 pm

PROGRAMME APP

We highly recommend that you download our NEXT Festival 2015 app prior to the event. It will allow you to pick your favourite speakers, connect with them and other attendees, find your way to the venues and pick the best concerts in the evening.

DRESS FOR SUCCESS

Casual it is at NEXT15 and Reeperbahn Festival. So if you want to wear your hoodie or sneakers, feel free to do so. You can leave clothes and cases in our cloak rooms at Schmidts TIVOLI and NIO. Once the show at Schmidts TIVOLI is over, everything will be transported to NIO for you.

FOOD & DRINKS

NEXT Lounge is offering you a unique networking space right at the entry to the Reeperbahn. Free drinks and lunch boxes (sponsored by our Premium Partner AUDI) on both days. We also hope to meet you there for a power networking breakfast (8-9 am) or Italian dinner (6-8 pm). We kindly ask that you pay for these yourself. Starting at 6.00 pm on both days we would love to invite you for a networking reception with free drinks.

Most hotels are fully booked already, but there are still a few rooms available for you at Hotel Grand Elysée.
