Conference program at jazzahead!: Focus on organisers

In 2020, we will focus on jazz organisers, clubs, festivals and other program makers. While 2019 was mainly about topics for artists, this time it will be about the other side. We want to prepare the most burning, relevant or even explosive topics for you and invite you to send us your ideas and offers by 15 January 2020 to busch (AT) jazzahead.de. The conference content will be selected by jazzahead! and co-produced.

Invitation program for international organizers
As part of the German Jazz Expo, the export platform for jazz from Germany at jazzahead!, we are again inviting international organizers and program makers to Bremen in 2020. Participants from this sector of the industry receive preferential conditions for participation and, depending on their origin, also a travel allowance. If you are particularly interested in the German jazz scene or would like to recommend someone, who should be part of this program, please write us an email to piyasiri (AT) jazzahead.de
