Frequently asked questions
Important information on the current Covid-19 issue
Forward Festival Munich is taking place as planned since we expect less than 500 guests (at once). There will be enhanced hygiene measures on site. We are in close contact with the authorities and the team of Munich Creative Business Week. If anything changes, ticketholders will be informed immediately. If you have been to the risk areas in the past 14 days or are feeling sick please contact us via hello@forwardcreatives.com before coming to the festival!
I bought a wrong ticket category or a ticket for a wrong city. What can I do?
Your ticket is transferable and not connected to the ticket holder’s name. We thus encourage you to give/sell the ticket to another person. Make someone’s day a special one!
I can only attend on one day of the festival. Can I buy a full Festival ticket and give the ticket to a friend for the second day?
Full festival tickets are transferable, but NOT shareable. Once you exchanged the ticket for your wristband, the ticket can’t be used by another person! The best way to handle the situation is to purchase a day ticket once they are available (a few weeks before the festival).
Can I get a refund for my ticket?
Unfortunately, we don’t do refunds, but since your name is not on the ticket – thus the ticket is not for a specific person – it is possible that you give/sell the ticket to another person before registration.
Where can I sign up for workshops?
Some of our workshops have a limited capacity of participants. You need to sign up in advance to snatch one of the spots. Last minute places will be available 15 minutes before the start of the workshop at the location. You can find all the information on how to sign up at the detailed description of each workshop. Some workshops are subject to an extra fee. You can buy access to the workshop in our ticketshop.
I'm at school or doing an apprenticeship,. Am I still eligible for a student ticket?
Yes, you are! Everyone under 28 years old (on the first day of the festival) with a valid ID that proves that they’re currently enrolled in an officially recognized educational institution, can access the festival with a student ticket. If you are not sure whether your education/training is eligible, write us an email to hello@forwardcreatives.com.
Are there volunteer opportunities at Forward Festival?
Yes, there are. Just send an email to volunteers@forwardcreatives.com with your contact details, CV and availability between March 11th to March 14th. We’re always looking for some extra helping hands!
How can my company partner with Forward Festival?
We are always looking for brands which fit to our community to provide relevant insights, products and stories. Feel free to shoot over an email to hello@forwardcreatives.com and we’ll get back to you soon.
