ABOUT US
Who We Are
ACMC began as a platform for emerging professionals in Hamburg in 2018, created by a group of students passionate about arts and culture. The conference has since been organized by different teams of students and young professionals every year. Our goal is to provide an environment for young people to connect with the wider cultural sector and achieve their potential. We have a strong committee of students and young professionals from all over the world for the 2023 edition, working alongside our board to deliver the biggest and most successful ACMC. We work on a volunteering basis and remain committed to our core values and ambitions. While we have had strong partnerships with other organizations, ACMC remains autonomous in its vision and future. We hope to continue traveling to different places in Europe and incorporating unique ideas from different committees in the years to come.
