How does independent booking really work today? Between social media, algorithm-driven trends, growing competition, and increasingly fast hype cycles, bookers are constantly navigating the tension between economic reality, community building, and sustainable artist development.
Leeni and Claudia speak about the realities of contemporary booking work: How do you discover new artists? What role do intuition, networks, data, and AI play in decision-making? And how can long-term careers still be built without relying entirely on platform logic and short-term attention?
The panel also addresses topics such as diversity, responsibility, mental health, fair collaboration, and power structures within the scene. At its core is the question of what future-proof booking can look like — between human curation, technological tools, and the desire for a more sustainable club and festival culture.
