C:N NET is the online platform and database for classical and art music. It is developed, moderated and maintained by the media and IT departments of Piranha Arts AG. This is the main reason why companies who attend the yearly Classical:NEXT get a free full access to C:N NET for a year.
When you register with Classical:NEXT as a delegate or a business, we automatically include your details into the C:N NET database. This database allows you to become a part of the global Classical:NEXT community.
1.6.1 - Present yourself, your colleagues and your company to the professional Classical:NEXT network - the standard for everybody in the world music business.
1.6.2 - Trade online. Publish your services, products, requests to the C:N NET community - be visible and active.
1.6.3 - Do it yourself. Post news, upload songs, manage your data in real time via an easy-to-use interface. No technical knowledge necessary.
Apart from that, the link between Classical:NEXT and C:N NET has no consequence whatsoever for the users of C:N NET. You don't have to register to Classical:NEXT to take part in C:N NET (and vice versa). But C:N NET can be very useful for companies attending Classical:NEXT to further their network with the partners they meet at the trade fair. Similarly, companies registered only for C:N NET can develop relationships with others before a possible meeting at the annual Classical:NEXT.
