ICH BIN EIN BERLINER
24 October 2022

For three days in November, the world of advertising will turn its attention to Ciclope in Berlin, where Spike Lee will be the headline act. As always, Francisco Condorelli and his team have lined up some amazing participants, and DAVID editor Jason Stone is hugely looking forward to taking part, and enjoying the other panels and interviews.

The opportunity to hear Spike Lee being interviewed is a big draw obviously, but there is plenty of other excellent content. The fantastic setting of the Kino International has a wonderful auditorium, and its foyer area is just about the best venue for conversation that you could hope to find at any of the ad industry's events around the world.

It all takes place on Tuesday 8th, Wednesday 9th, and Thursday 10th November.... and you can see the full programme, and then buy one of the few remaining tickets.
