Speakers
- Jędrzej Dondziło aka Dtekk
Art Director – Up To Date Festival
A real one-person institution of the Polish electronic music scene: a DJ, a devoted promoter and a cultural activist. Jędrzej Dondziło is the originator of the Up To Date Festival, its art director, strategist, coordinator and so much more. He believes there is no compromise when it comes to music, there is nothing like it: either an excellent act or just an economic lineup filler.
- Cezary Chwicewski
Creative Director – Up To Date Festival
Up To Date Festival has long been the apple of his eye. He is the festival’s creative director, strategist, brand-builder, PR fanatic and much more, also a multiple award winning filmmaker who sets new standards promoting cultural events. He believes you can achieve anything you pursue despite a majority’s disbelief, unless you cannot, and if the latter is the case you start over or simply have some enjoyable rest.
Talk Topic
Up To Date emerged out of the blue almost a decade on the far end of EU. Since then it has become a landmark on the off-the- beaten track east-European music map. It has been awarded multiple times for its passion and consistency. Dare to say no other music festival has that kind of PR or creativity reaching the depths of people’s guts. But well, it has not been easy, and it has rather been a bumpy road with a few bruises and dents on the way. Its founders are coming to share lots of spirit, experience, know-how and a few jokes from under the counter.
