What is a Conference Session?

At the heart of the Classical:NEXT Conference are the jury-selected conference sessions featuring interactive formats such as mini-workshops, group discussions and debates as well as presentations and panels.

Meet Ups provide a place to form new alliances or deepen existing relationships: this semi-formal format provides a platform for established or emerging international networks to get together, brainstorm, develop ideas and connect with potential members or partners.

Ask all your burning questions, exchange ideas and get practical tips from our jury selected mentors! You can choose from 45-minute one-to-one mentoring sessions or 45-minute Roundtable sessions in small groups.

Besides the jury-selected Conference programme our Off C:N Presentations offer delegates an additional space to present their projects, products or services. Learn more
