Further training

In addition to the apprenticeship for young professionals, the BDKV also considers the further training of practitioners to be an important task. High-quality qualification offers in the live entertainment sector are, as the association has recognized, in short supply.

In cooperation with the Hamburg Music Business Association (IHM), the bdv organized the “Live Entertainment Summer School” for the first time in September 2017. It offered participants a six-day full-time further education programme on the legal and economic challenges of the event market. IHM and bdv thereby created the platform for practical training, such as for activities of concert organizers, agencies and venue operators in the event and entertainment field. Due to its initial success—the event was fully booked—the summer school will now be held annually.
