"After the Future Music Camp 2020 had to be cancelled due to the Corona pandemic, we are especially pleased to host the eleventh Future Music Camp digitally - for the first time with the possibility of exchange in a virtual space. Especially due to last year's developments, it is important to ask forward-looking questions and discuss developments in the streaming sector," explains Prof. Hubert Wandjo, Business Director and Managing Director of the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg.

In addition to top-class national and international keynote speakers, there will again be sessions held by participants. Whether it is a discussion round, brainstorming session or workshop - the format will be determined by the participants themselves. Proposals can be submitted until 15 March.
