The people behind the ahead x editions

The people who carry the ahead x editions on stage and behind it, grouped by role. This overview is not the same as the People of ahead x award, which follows the Curatorial Statutes.

Coordination

The people who curate ahead x and take responsibility for it, platform-wide or regionally.

Organiser

M&K Event GmbH organises the ahead x events in the DACH region, responsible for ticketing, contracts and event organisation.

Speakers & Trainers

Practitioners who actually use AI in everyday business — on the ahead x stage and as trainers in the workshops. One person can be both.

Moderation

Regional journalists from the media partner newsrooms. Locally rooted, probing, putting things in context.

Show Acts

Musicians and live acts that carry the transitions between the three acts musically.

Media Team

Photographers and videographers who document every ahead x edition — aftermovies, galleries, press photos.

Tech

Stage tech, lighting, sound — the invisible layer that carries an edition evening technically.
