3. The future of popmusic and live experiences given by Stephanie van den Hurk from Effenaar

The Effenaar takes care of programming a wide range of pop music in Eindhoven, and has always facilitated (music) experiments. Effenaar Smart Venue builds on this by creating possibilities for innovative, high-tech experiments in the field of i.a. virtual and augmented reality. Together with artists, schools and companies from this region we research what the opportunities are. And from there, of course new music experiences will arise, causing even greater shows!
