Music Biz Members: YOU’RE INVITED — Music Biz Meets Reeperbahn Festival Next Week
Music Biz members: We invite you to participate in an exclusive event next week co-hosted by Music Biz and our friends at Reeperbahn Festival International.
This year, Reeperbahn Festival International is launching into a new era of transcultural cooperation between artists and the music industry, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it! This live hybrid event — set for August 27 and 28 — will include innovative versions of familiar Reeperbahn Festival International formats and topics (panels, a singer-songwriter camp, and ANCHOR Jury & Nominees announcement) and will conclude with a top-class live showcase of global artists.
Music professionals spanning every segment of the business all over the US and EU will connect virtually in Reeperbahn Festival’s custom online platform for a limited time only to exchange ideas, foster international relationships, and be a part of a community advancing music commerce globally.

KEYNOTE PANEL:
Building The Bridge – Creative Collaboration Between the US + Europe
Thursday, August 27 from 12:45 – 1:45PM EDT
Shared strategies and close working collaborations between two (or three or four) continents is nothing new – but it is ever-evolving, especially in the time of the COVID-19 global crisis. The industry is increasingly becoming more borderless as boundaries are shifting because of new partnerships, delegation programs, communication tools, and revenue-generating outlets. Music Biz and Reeperbahn Festival are bringing together a panel of international industry executives to talk about their experiences and exchange perspectives on how everyone can work together to keep growing the global music business in our current state… and beyond.

Survive and Thrive’ – Songwriting In The Times of A Pandemic
Thursday, August 27 from 3:00 – 4:00PM ET
In the run-up to the Reeperbahn Festival International – On-Site and Online – 27–28 August from Berlin event, a digital singer-songwriters camp took place where they were able to meet, write together, and learn about each other’s markets. The camp was aimed at artists and writers who wanted to use the limitations of this time to their advantage and open themselves and their art to new territories and explore paths into the international songwriting business. The results of the sessions will now be heard and discussed with experts from Nashville and Germany in a joint listening session after the camp, partly digitally and partly in person at the venue in Berlin.
Showcase Night
Friday, August 28 from 12:30 – 4:00PM ET
