Björn Döring (born 14.5.1971 in Eschwege, Hesse) is founder and managing director in the specialized trade for events, who has been organizing, producing and curating events for five years like #1heit - the concert for 3.10.2018 at the Brandenburg Gate, which told a story of pop culture in Germany from the twenties to today in a three-hour production and took place in the backdrop of JR's art installation at the Brandenburg Gate. As part of the Reeperbahn Festival, the most important European platform for cultural industries, Björn Döring organizes and curates the projects the Berlin Experience and the training format Training Day. At the TIPI IM KANLZERAMT and other venues in Berlin, the European show Babylon Europa has been taking place since 2019, which Björn Döring curates on behalf of the European cultural network EUNIC, involving 12 artists* from 12 European countries in a staging and shared narrative. Other projects for which Björn Döring is responsible for content and organization include the street music festival East Side Music Days, the Trümmern und Träumen festival for the 25th anniversary of German unity, or the pop'n'politics platform on social engagement in pop culture, which also takes place at the Reeperbahn Festival. Since 2018, he has been the curator of Fête de la Musique Berlin. Before founding Fachhandel, Björn Döring worked as a cultural manager, curator, journalist and PR consultant in Berlin. He worked as a freelance journalist for Rolling Stone, Musikexpress, intro Musikmagazin, Berliner Zeitung, Tagesspiegel, taz and RBB Multikulti. The central organization of the Fête de la Musique was his entry into the world of events, after which he organized his own festival, popdeurope, which focused on the influence of migrant cultures on the sound of major European cities. Döring designed the music program at the Admiralspalast and managed the Berlin Music Week for three years before founding "Büro Doering, Fachhandel für Ereignisse" in January 2015.
