1yLittle anecdote (among thousands of great memories): Marking this years RBF my 13th attendance. In 2012 I was one of the 300 people seeing Ed Sheeran at the Reeperbahn Festival/Rolling Stone Weekender playing his first ever outside UK gig in his career ...and probably his worst gig ever. He forgot the lyrics, messed up announcements and was incredibly nervous. You would not have expected that this insecure guy will ever enter a stage again... the rest is history.

1yThis sounds like an incredible opportunity to meet music industry professional on a global level and bring back key learnings to our own countries. I saw speakers in the sync, licensing, publishing world and would love to make contacts as I am making my introduction into the music supervision world. do you know if the speakers are primarily in German, or English or a mix of different languages? I’m ready to brush up on my German skills :)
