Fortune Teller x About Pop 2026 1:1 sessions application form

Fortune Teller is a platform for emerging and mid-level artists and the music professionals around them to acquire the necessary guidance and tools to export their music and build their career internationally.
As part of About Pop Conference, we are offering 2 x 1:1 Export Sessions. Eligible for the program are emerging and more established artists from the Stuttgart area who have taken their first steps toward a professional career (e.g., released music, played concerts, and have a basic understanding of the music business), and who aim to expand their careers internationally with realistic ambitions. It also addresses independent music professionals looking to broaden their knowledge and networks beyond the German market. 
These sessions cover general questions about international export, offer individualised coaching, and support strategy building for an international career. Our focus lies on the independent local pop and alternative music scenes.

You can apply via the form below until May 30th, 2026. These sessions are free of charge for the participants and will take place during About Pop in Stuttgart on June 12th, 2026. 

Duration: 45-60min

Requirements: Acts who have already released music and played shows in Germany (ideally also abroad) or have been selected to showcase festivals, are developing an international team. Must be available on June 12th afternoon.
