The ZMW festival hub is the Kraftwerk—the former power plant located within walking distance of Zurich Main Station. A sunny terrace and the industrial-style bar invite visitors to network and linger. In the rear section of the large, open event hall, conferences take place from Monday to Friday, while in the former control room, renowned local and international artists teach DJing and producing in the ZMW masterclasses.

During the week, the terrace offers daily afterwork sessions with DJs from the industry, where you can enjoy the evening with friends - free entry.

In the evenings, the festival center transforms into a vibrant event venue, hosting guest labels on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.
