We are happy to announce the new location for next year's edition of the next conference: next09 will take place at Kampnagel on May 5 & 6, 2009. Kampnagel is Germany's largest production and performance facility for national and international freelance artists and is one of the most reputable venue for the performing arts.

In 1984, the former crane factory was rebuilt into a multifunctional theatre building. Each season, with its six stages, the cinema, rehearsal space and the restaurant, Kampnagel attracts tens of thousands of visitors.

Kampnagel is a productive laboratory for ideas, a think tank, a place for controversy, but also a vivid concert hall, music lounge, club. Kampnagel works on new formats that seek to explore contemporary forms of public life, communication, interaction, participation and knowledge transfer.

We think that Kampnagel is a perfect fit for the next09. The main stage has 800 seats, more than ever before at a next conference. There will be plenty of space for networking and great opportunities for sponsors. Stay tuned!
