Picture of the International Stage: The speakers on stage and the audience in the public of the live The Hof Event raise their glasses.

Two The Hof highlights await you in May! The next digital session will take place on 16 May 2024. Discuss new ways of working and the consequences of a generational shift in publishing with our international interview guests and meet publishing peers from all over the world.

On 14 May 2024, the second in-person event of The Hof Community took place in New York. Our guests enjoyed live music by Eleanor Dubinsky and Dario Acosta Teich, listened to interesting interviews with host Felix Zeltner and had inspiring conversations with the local publishing community!

Their repertoire includes popular and original songs - from jazz to music from Latin America and France. Her style is described as joyful, uplifting and especially warm. Whether on a real or virtual stage, the New York duo's elegant performances transcend genre and national boundaries to celebrate the healing power of music.
