Participation Options 2022

There are several participation options for jazzahead! 2022, read about them in detail here. For the trade fair we are planning with larger rooms on site in Bremen and are well prepared to host our international industry get-together under new conditions. For on-site participation you can register either as an exhibitor, co-exhibitor or trade participant.
Online-only registration and registration as a participant for individual days will open on November 8, 2021.

Exhibitor Plus: A booth and your own session at jazzahead!

If you decide to have a booth at jazzahead! 2022, you will also have the opportunity to purchase one of the limited PLUS packages and hold your own panel or session in the jazzahead! professional program. This package is particularly suitable for presenting country portraits, for example – last year these were very popular with our participants and a good way to present yourself as a jazz country in an international context.
The conference program will be recorded in parts so that all online registrants can also participate. For those registered on site, this offers the possibility of a more intensive re-experience of the program beyond the trade fair. For more information, please contact Malena Drela.

Invitation Program German Jazz Expo

This year we are once again inviting festival and club organizers to the German Jazz Expo. Our invitation program, funded by the German government and the Initiative Musik, is oriented towards strategic markets that already have a good artistic exchange with German artists and festivals with the potential to (further) develop a German artistic program. In 2022, we will continue to give priority to inviting young and/or female artistic directors/program makers.
For guests of the GJE within the invitation program, a special program will be offered on site and they will receive free registration and accommodation.
The aim of the German Jazz Expo is to promote German jazz in an international context in a sustainable way. If you want to know more, please contact Nina Thomann
