Marketing Club Berlin + Macromedia University of Applied Sciences Campus Berlin present
THE NEXT NEW NORMAL?
International Virtual Conference | December 8th 2021
About this Conference
Working and studying from home, traveling less, becoming friends with people you only met virtually? Things that seemed far fetched b.c. (before Covid-19) have become „normal“ for many of us. But how sustainable are the pandemic-induced changes? Are we actually witnessing real changes and what role does the digital sphere play? During an international and interdisciplinary conference on December 8th we will take stock of the so called ’next new normal‘ and critically engage with current discourses surrounding media & communication, fashion, work and culture. The conference is being conceived by faculty members as well as students and is open to the general public. Taking on the format of a laboratory we will offer different formats like workshops, lightning talks, panel discussions and networking lounges.The conference will offer digital experiences for the audience, while the organizers and selected speakers will be on-site. Join the conference main room here via MS Teams.
