“Paris is always Paris and Berlin is never Berlin!” (Jack Lang, French Politician)
Berlin is a renowned city of transition. Yes that’s a cliché, but of course it’s true a well. The city still changes at a dizzying pace and creates a pioneering mix of music industry, festivals and club events.
Since 2010 the city has a new platform to tie the activities, commitment, diversity and communication of the music industry into one: The Berlin Music Week.
This year, we were pretty lucky, to have our first 2-day GO Group workshop within the WORD! Conference of Berlin Music Week on 5-6th September 2013.
Thank you very much to all the participants, speakers and helpers for your interest and input!
Hope to see you at the next GO Group Workshop again!
