Most Wanted: Music (MW:M) is the most important music business conference in Berlin and a rising European hotspot event for music and creative industry professionals worldwide. It is run by the Berlin Music Commission, the music industry network of Berlin an behalf of the Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises.
Most Wanted: Music aims to start building the music and creative industries of tomorrow, where collaboration is not merely about working together but creating new with modern goals and rallying around a new ethos.
MW:M’s key objectives are: enabling practical know-how transfer, fostering networking and exchange and inspiring new ideas and business models.
Offering a wide range of inspiring keynotes, interviews and debates, hands-on workshops and matchmaking events, MW:M covers the most current and relevant questions of today’s music, tech and creative industries in order to bring direct value to creators and music businesses. MW:M23 will take place from 14th – 16th of November at Berlin’s famous Kulturbrauerei. The programme includes interactive talks, interviews and workshops with experts and artists from all over the world, experimental networking formats and live performances. The conference called MW:M Convention is accompanied by the Listen to Berlin: Awards, the awards for remarkable achievements in the Berlin music scene, and MW:M Live, Berlin’s international showcase event, as well as the MW:M Satellites, a broad variety of partner events distributed around the entire city of Berlin.
In 2023, the opportunity to shape things seems limitless. We all love brilliant artists and great music – so where do we start if we want to create and market it better? MW:M23 will explore new technologies and tools by moving the human – our creativity, potential and vision – to the centre of our approach.
Humanize Work and Life How do music businesses use technologies to develop new ways of working? And which ones have already proven useful? We’ll ask them to show us.
Humanize Creation and Business How do you place fairness at the core of creative work – and what can we do to improve? We’ll discuss the answers to this difficult question. Humanize Tech and Tools Which tools are putting the economic, cultural and social aspects of human creativity at the centre of their service? What changes if you embrace new technologies in a real, tangible, and human-centred way? We’ll explore it.
We say: let’s put our human needs and goals next to creativity, curiosity and community, and let’s put it right at the heart of everything – however we develop, explore or deploy new technologies.
We say: Humanize!
