NEXT25: Your ticket to more than one conference

Adam Tinworth

NEXT itself not enough for you? Your NEXT25 ticket gives you acess to more music and events than you might imagine…

Most conferences sit on their own, in splendid isolation. You disappear into an alternative, corporate world. Not NEXT. Instead, we sit at the heart of the Reeperbahn Festival, one of the world’s leading music and cultural festivals. There are performances and events all around us, and the Reeperbahn itself will be alive with music throughout your visit.

All around the venue, gigs, and conference are happening — and your ticket to NEXT provides you with access to all of that.

Your NEXT badge and wristband also grant you access to:

  • Reeperbahn Festival events and gigs on the day of NEXT Conference
  • The Reeperbahn Festival Conference
  • The re:publica stage at the conference

The Reeperbahn Festival

Our conference sits right at the heart of one of the world’s biggest and most celebrated music festivals. While some artists will find their way onto the NEXT stage, if you’re hungry for more, your ticket gives you access to all the events on the same day as NEXT: Thursday.

Here’s the schedule for that day.

The Reeperbahn Festival Conference

While artists perform and fans dance, the global creative industry meets and networks at the Reeperbahn Festival Conference. This year’s conference theme — Imagine Togetherness! — is a call for new ways of working together, taking responsibility and setting shared goals — for an industry that is united in its commitment to the next generation of artists, to fans, to the entire music ecosystem and, ultimately, to our democracies.

As I’m sure you realise, these are themes and issues very much related to NEXT’s Thursday sessions.

Your NEXT ticket grants full access to:

  • Selected Reeperbahn Festival Conference events
  • The entire conference programme

It’s the perfect opportunity to explore creative industry trends alongside the core NEXT topics.

The re:publica stage

re:publica is, like NEXT, a long-running European festival focusing on digital culture. While the main conference happens in May in Berlin, they curate a stage for the Reeperbahn Festival Conference.

Your NEXT badge and wristband allow you access to their events on technology, digital culture and society — the perfect accompaniment to your day at NEXT25!

Some sessions are conducted in English, and some in German — please check the schedule for details.
