The organization teams of the conference change every year. They are being led by students from Cultural (management) related study programs. Furthermore, from the beginning the conference has had a strong cooperation with The association for cultural management (Fachverband Kultur Management). However the ACMC has always been autonomous and will in 2020 for the first time take place independently from the Fachverband, in Groningen. We hope that from here it will travel to many different places all over Europe and be led by a variety of students who will incorporate their unique ideas.
