We have invited a group of people who are active in the public arena (shows, online platforms, dealers, media etc.) to ask them about their perspectives and use this as grounds for discussion. We want to have an outlook on the future of our business segment, and where to focus our individual but also the EGB resources. What comes after The HGGS and what place should the EGB take in all this? There will be a lot of room for discussions and exchange of experiences, and we will share the results of a survey we will conduct before on shows and sales channels.

CONFIRMED PARTICIPANTS (waiting for responses from a few others):

Rudi Bults — The Fellowship of Acoustics (Netherlands)

Dieter Roesberg — Gitarre & Bass, Guitar Summit (Germany)

Nicolai Schneecloth — Vintage & Rare (Denmark)

The discussion will be moderated by EVAN GLUCK (New York Guitar Repair).

Followed by open discussion time until lunchtime.

Master luthier Christian Stoll has 40+ years of experience in his field, creating top-of-the-line instruments and also training a number of young guitarmakers. He is an EGB honorary member and is serving our community by being a board member for the past few years.
