The Next Story in Editing – Where Trends, Talent, and Technology Meet

What’s the next story in editing — and who will tell it? At The Hof in February, we’ll explore how editing is evolving. From spotting emerging trends to discovering fresh voices and understanding the role of AI in editorial work, we’ll look at how creativity, technology, and changing perspectives come together in editing today. Come for the conversation, stay for the connections — and leave inspired about what’s next.

Hosted by award-winning journalist Felix Zeltner, enjoy the famous Hof feeling, connect with our guests, contribute your own questions and comments, and meet the worldwide community in our breakout rooms! As always, live music and mindfulness will be part of the hour.
