SYNOPSIS
THE NIGHT ACADEMY
The Night Academy 2023 will be the first of hopefully many international gatherings where people from all walks of nightlife meet to exchange both practical and theoretical knowledge. This all takes place in a hands-on environment and is done in a way that directly benefits both the hosting venue and the local night life culture as whole.
For the first year the staging ground is mainly House Blivande and its adjacent container village Frihamnstorget in Stockholm, Sweden.
The entire project spans over 6 days in May with the educational program taking place on the weekdays.
On the weekend Fri-Sat a 2-day international nightlife conference will take place where both local and international speakers and invited participants partake.
The Saturday also features the culmination event of the week in the form of the 24 hour “WHY24?” festival where some of the fruits of the week’s collaborations are shared with the wider world.
Don’t miss out!
MASTER CLASSES
The heart of The Night Academy and the reason for its name are the peer-to-peer learning opportunities it brings.
These come in various shapes and forms but have the common denominator of being expert-lead masterclasses inviting professionals from nightlife related fields to learn from one another.
This while also helping a local nightlife community to evolve and blossom in a win-win process.
