Mediamatic.net

Mediamatic.net is the platform where Mediamatic visitors see our program, and find all the event details and ticket links. So it is important to keep it up to date. 

You can find all the confirmed workshops by opening the drop down menu of “Program” on the top banner and click “Workshop calendar”. Once you make a new workshop page, it should show up in this calendar.
