The 5 & 6 February 2010 are earmarked for the second edition of the , an event at which we warmly welcome anyone active in the field of independent audio
and media cultures.
The market is part of CTM.10, the 11th edition of club transmediale, which takes place from 28 January
– 7 February 2010 under the title OVERLAP – Sound & Other Media.
In its first decade of hard-won existence, CTM has earned itself an impressive international following
among audio and media professionals – and it continues to grow. In 2009, well over 1000 institutions,
initiatives and businesses from music, design, media and the arts applied for joint accreditation to
CTM and its concurrent sister festival transmediale – International Festival for Art and Digital Culture. Today,
the two festivals have become a vital port of call on the international circuit, a venue where not only
visiting professionals, but everyone can learn about the latest creative innovations, make new contacts,
initiate projects and found partnerships.
That’s why we are once again offering visiting professionals a networking-forum: the Creative Independents
Network Market. On the 5 & 6 February, on some 1000 sqm. in one of this year‘s new Festival venues –
the .HBC (former Hungarian Cultural Centre) on Alexanderplatz in Berlin-Mitte – any representatives
of institutions, initiatives, projects and businesses who are committed to independent audio and media
cultures can take the opportunity to present their activities and products to a broad public.
Entrance to the market is free, so stand-holders can reach not only visiting professionals but also our
young festival fans, whose interest in music, arts and media is clearly alive and kicking. At the first, oneday
Creative Independents Network Market in January 2009, 40 exhibitors plied their wares and presented
their projects to more than 800 visitors.
