What is the difference between the program categories "DESIGN SCHAU!" and "CREATE BUSINESS!"?

The program area "DESIGN SCHAU! for Design Lovers" is available to everyone and displays design in all its facets for a larger public. The program area "CREATE BUSINESS! for Professionals" is intended as a dialog and networking platform with focus on the industry and the goal of creating closer links between the business world and the design sector. The distinction serves primarily as a content-related orientation and does not indicate a general access restriction. Please refer to the respective events for more details.

Visually, events from the category "DESIGN SCHAU!" are marked in yellow and events from the category "CREATE BUSINESS!" in blue.

Is there an English program available?

All event pages can be set to English on the website menu. Additionally, English editions of the MCBW MAG are available at our info points. Events in English are labeled as such or can be found specifically using the "Languages" filter function in the online program.

Are all events accessible without barriers?

Information on the accessibility of events hosted by program partners can be found on the respective event page. Barrier-free events can be found specifically using the "Accessibility" filter function in the online program.

Are there other MCBW events outside of the design week?

The event series MCBW After Work also continues throughout the year, as do a wide array of formats hosted by the MCBW sponsor bayern design.

How can I submit my own event for the MCBW 2022?

As MCBW visitor, what do I need to be aware of regarding COVID-19?

Make sure the event organizer has your contact details. At live events, please follow the safe-distance instructions and hygiene precautions. Use sanitizing facilities and avoid touching surfaces unless you absolutely have to.

We strongly advise you to wear a mask in all indoor venues and at outdoor events where the required safe distance cannot be observed.

If you feel sick, have knowingly had contact with an infected person or have recently been to a risk area, please refrain from attending any live events at the MCBW 2022.

Are there COVID-related restrictions to the MCBW 2022?

In a joint effort with our program partners, we try to keep the MCBW 2022 as varied and casual as it used to be, but at the same time as safe as humanly possible. Program partners are required to strictly adhere to minimum distances, maximum visitor numbers and hygiene precautions for all live events and to provide sanitizing facilities.

Will MCBW 2022 be postponed in the event of a new lockdown?

The MCBW 2022 will take place at the scheduled time 14.-22. May 2022 - whatever the circumstances. We encourage all MCBW program partners to include also on hybrid or fully digital events in their planning. If needed, the event pages can also be adjusted by the program partners at short notice to reflect current developments. It is therefore quite likely that in case of a new lockdown or further restrictions, events will increasingly be held in digital format.

Will I get a refund if an event is cancelled due to COVID-19?

Whether fee-based events are provided with a cancellation option or money-back guarantee is at the discretion of the respective hosts.

Will visitor data be collected for tracking purposes?

MCBW is following the recommendations of the German government, which currently makes it mandatory for event organizers to collect visitor data to facilitate contact tracing for subsequently verified COVID-19 cases.

These data may only be transmitted to the relevant health authorities upon request for the purpose of providing information. All data documentation shall be safely stored away from third party access and the data shall be protected against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss or damage.
