Led by moderator Kordula Kunert, the session opens with insights from Purple Flag (UK) on what “excellence in the evening and night-time economy” looks like, followed by contributions from Michael Kill(Night Time Industries Association, UK), Kristin Wolter (Coordinator of Nachtkultur Hannover), and Iris Hinze (Board Member, LiveMusikKommission e.V.). Together with your active participation, they will discuss how current challenges in Germany’s night-time economy compare internationally and identify what structural changes are needed to move toward good practice.
Participants are invited to actively contribute through an interactive workshop and group discussions on key topics, including safety, interfaces, and collaboration between stakeholders, as well as spaces for nightlife.
By the end of the session, attendees will leave with concrete ideas and inspiration for improving cooperation between municipalities, night-time managers, and associations — aiming to strengthen the cultural and economic vitality of urban nights.
