Riesenrad-Talks @MTM40

21–23 October 2026
Ferris wheel Umadum, Atelierstraße 11, 81671 Munich

A special event awaits you at MEDIENTAGE München 2026: at the Umadum Ferris wheel in the Werksviertel near Ostbahnhof, MedienNetzwerk Bayern is offering exclusive rides. In several gondolas, each accompanied by a gondola captain, media professionals from various sectors will discuss a range of topics.

A 30-minute gondola ride with exciting fellow passengers: not only can you enjoy the view, but it’s also a chance to connect with people from the industry, learn new things, and get pressing questions answered.

How do I register? Participation in the Ferris Wheel Talk is open to ticket holders of the MEDIENTAGE MÜNCHEN conference and requires prior separate registration.
