The conference programme has established itself as one of the key features of Classical:NEXT, offering a wide variety of useful and inspiring themes for all sectors.
Set up to keep delegates up-to-date with new developments and provide the right know-how to cope with current issues, the conference is a place to find new partners.
It is comprised of the following formats: Conference Sessions, Meet Ups, Mentoring, Presentations and Public Talks.
With the postponement of Classical:NEXT 2020, much of the programme remains intact and we already look forward to the many Jury-selected Conference Sessions that will take place at De Doelen in Rotterdam in May 2021. But the programme would not be complete without a mention of all that has taken place in light of the Coronavirus pandemic. For that reason, we are opening our Call for Proposals, seeking specifically COVID-19-induced innovations. If you or someone you know has a project, topic, showcase and/or experience you think is worth sharing, then we want to hear from you! Apply now .
The deadline to apply is midnight (CEST) on Friday, 16 October 2020.
