MOST WANTED: MUSIC (MW:M) is the most important music business event in Berlin. Since its launch in 2010, it has become one of the largest conferences for the professional music and creative industries in Germany. MW:M is organized by the Berlin Music Commission, the network of the Berlin music industry.
Its purpose: Promote practical knowledge transfer, enable professional networking and exchange and inspire new perspectives and business models.
On November 7th and 8th, MW:M18 focuses on the most pressing questions the music and creative industries will face tomorrow. The spirit of Berlin shapes everything at MW:M: freedom of expression, doing it differently, and shaking the status quo.

This year, MW:M expands into its beautifully industrial new venue: the famous Alte Münze, a former coin factory on the banks of the river Spree – right in the centre of the city that is the beating heart of European alternative culture.
Freedom of expression, doing it differently, and shaking the status quo
MW:M is Berlin’s most important event for education and networking in the music industry, marketing and MusicTech. Under the motto, “Where You Shape The Future of Creativity”, creativity in the present and the future will be the focus of the conference, held at Berlin’s Alte Münze. Over two days, VR, 360-degree videos, immersive music production, the interplay of artificial intelligence and big data and marketing, as well as innovative human-computer interactions will be the thrust centre-stage for attendees from the creative industry.
Which digital offerings are already revolutionizing the music industry, and how can existing technical developments be exploited for a sustainable business strategy?
And as for participation, one thing is certain: MW:M is open for experiments and you can expect to try a lot out! MW:M will dig into these innovations via the practical functions of the music business: topics such as live entertainment, label management, marketing, new work and legal issues relating to digital media and branded entertainment are on the agenda. Among the speakers live on stage are Kelly Snook – founder of Kepler Concordia and NASA scientist, Ian Forrester – R&D firestarter at BBC and developer of the “Perceptive Media” storytelling approach, Annett Polaszewski-Plath – Managing Director/Managing Director of Eventbrite Germany, Alex Jacobi – CEO of Audiovisual Intelligence and host of the podcast “With Love and Data”, Steve Steward – CEO & co-founder of Vezt, and Mandy Aubry – Director of Global Business Development and Client Relations at Songtrust.
