New umbrella stand Innovation in Music & Crossover Markets
This year, jazzahead! is happening with a hybrid setting and with new accents in the trade fair area and the professional program. Innovations in the music industry and crossover markets are to be given greater consideration in order to support the future viability of the jazz industry through these topics. For participants from these areas of the industry, we have a special offer in the form of a joint stand at the fair.
