Whenever music and artist managers meet they talk about the incredibly exciting times that they are going through. Think about the Augean stables one has to clean every day-cancellations, financing and other challenges. While they deal with those, they also look ahead and set things up for the coming seasons. The artistic world is more fluid than ever and seems to be in a permanent transition. Is transition ever done? And what comes next?

At the IAMA conference 2019 artist managers want to contemplate what is beyond all that. Düsseldorf, capital city of Germany’s most densely populated state North Rhine-Westphalia, offers a wonderful setting with its cosmopolitan spirit combined with the sense of a close-knit community. And there could be no better place to talk about transitions and beyond than Tonhalle Düsseldorf, which was once the biggest planetarium in the world and is now a concert hall presenting starry music performances.
