Networking Days 2020
The Networking Days are going hybrid! Join us on location in Halle (Saale) and via livestream on 17 & 18 October
While the factual industry is experiencing significant change, adapting its practices to the current circumstances, these special times also open doors for transformation and new opportunities.
Therefore, on the occasion of the 20th Anniversary of Documentary Campus, the Final Pitching of the Masterschool aka the Networking Days will take place at our SILBERSALZ Science and Media Festival offering a programme filled with pitches, films, art works and performances.
On the first day of the Networking Days we will present projects developed at our Masterschool and Campus Latino training programmes as well as selected Documentary Campus member projects. The second day of the pitching will focus on science presenting the SILBERSALZ Science & Media Pitch.

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
REGISTRATION
The current situation in Germany allows us to make a first step back into the world of physical events. We will ensure the protection of our guests and team through a professional safety and hygiene concept, that we already successfully implemented at the SILBERSALZ events in June 2020.
Until very recently, we were hoping to be able to realise our event at least with a few representatives of the industry to give you all a chance to meet together in person again. Evaluating the current situation, too many of our guests would be exposed to Corona-related quarantine rules. Too many of them cannot travel at all. For this reason, we had to take the decision - very heavily hearted - to ask our guests and audience to take part and observe the Networking Days online.
Therefore, we ask you to join us online:
Register now for free and join us via livestream.
