The international delegation has long been one of the defining elements of the Pop-Kultur Festival. During the Speed Meetings, Berlin-based musicians and music industry professionals have the opportunity to meet international festival directors, bookers, curators, and industry experts in one-to-one meetings lasting ten minutes. It’s a chance to make new connections, present projects, and exchange ideas. Over the years, many of these conversations have led to long-term collaborations, festival appearances, and lasting professional networks.

The following international delegates will be available for Speed Meetings:

• Austin Robey – Subvert (New York City)
• Bronne Keesmaat – Rewire Festival (The Hague)
• Camila Anino – Primavera Sound (Barcelona)
• Katarina Grbić – Rizomes Festival (Barcelona)
• Marijn Westerlaken – EBB Music (Amsterdam)
• Michaël Bardier – Heavy Trip (Montréal)
• Paco Barba – Grupo Indie Rocks! (Mexico City)
• Tifenn Monnereau – VEDETTES (Rennes)

The Speed Meetings are open to Berlin-based music professionals and musicians and require advance registration. Each meeting lasts ten minutes. As the number of available slots is limited, participation cannot be guaranteed. During registration, applicants can indicate their preferred delegates, and these preferences will be accommodated wherever possible.
