More time for networking and young talent: Here’s what’s new at IKF 2027!
Over 30 years of IKF: that means three decades as a hub for the cultural scene. For the 38th edition, we’ve got a major upgrade in store: a focus on networking and the stars of tomorrow!
Monday is all about our professional conference. Look forward to keynotes, workshops, and panels that will offer you new perspectives. Here, we’ll work together with optimism and energy to drive future strategies and tackle the challenges of our time. Also in the spotlight: The Newcomer Stage belongs to the scene’s young talents.
Tuesday and Wednesday bring back the familiar trade show vibe: the exhibitor hall, showcases, and a legendary party. Let’s rock!
Culture Connects People
The personal encounter was and is the reason why we organise events. The undisputed importance of live communication is the basis for all our decisions. To emphasise the importance of the face-to-face event as an industry meeting, the IKF identifies with the claim: Culture Connects People - the direct connection of people.
