International conference on night time economy, culture, urban development and health issues

For the second time, the NIGHT- STADT NACH ACHT conference takes place in one of the world’s most attractive nightlife cities. As a prime example, Berlin continuously demonstrates that the celebration of nightlife is one of the most important social activities in our community, and that this attraction is directly linked to the vibrancy and urbanity of European cities. This success comes with its own set of challenges, as example the coexistence of nightlife cultures and residents, or the risky behaviour of party goers related to their consumption of alcohol, drugs and sexual activities. They have been many interesting responses to this new set of circumstances which adress the problems and needs relating to nightlife activties. The culture, music and nightlife-regulations may be different, but the challenges are similar for all cities of the world, which is reason enough to develop an attractive and sutainable nightlife culture on an international level. The focus of the Nightlife Conference lies upon varying facets of modern party culture, regardless of wether in public, in clubs, bars, festivals or in the form of free parties. We would like to invite anyone who partakes in this celebration of nightlife, which is why the Nightlife Conference offers an ideal platform for international networking and exchange that goes beyond the traditional borders of the scene, the branch, and related areas of expertise. The NIGHTS 2017 Berlin- Nightlife Conference is a coproduction of Clubcommission Berlin and the Eurpean NEWNet in cooperation with stadtnacht.de and the Enter the Void Network.
