Most Wanted: Music is Berlin’s leading conference for the music business and one of Europe’s most forward-looking meeting points for music, culture, and creative industries. Organized by the Berlin Music Commission, the music business network of Berlin, MW:M brings together artists, innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, and industry leaders to explore the future of music across business, technology, culture, and community.

Under the 2026 theme Rewire!, MW:M26 focuses on the new pathways, connections, and systems shaping the music ecosystem — from creative technologies and new business models to global collaboration, social impact, and scene development.

MW:M’s core mission is to foster practical knowledge exchange, meaningful networking, and new ideas that drive the industry forward. Alongside the conference programme, MW:M26 also features the LISTEN TO BERLIN: AWARDS and YOUTH summit, as well as the newly reimagined Most Wanted: Music Club Festival. MW:M26 takes place from 3–5 November 2026 at nhow Berlin and across multiple venues at Berlin’s RAW-Gelände.
