NEXT on yksi euroopan johtavista digitaalisen viestinnän seminaareista. Seminaarin keskeisenä teemana on pysynyt "kolmio" consumer-technology-marketing.
Seminaari yhdistää markkinoinnin ja liiketoiminnan osaajat yhteen teknisen- ja luovan alan ammattilaisten kanssa.

Toisen maailmansodan aikana rakennus tuhoutui pahoin ja se kunnostettiin messu-ja seminaarikäyttöön 1997-2007. Tila sisältää 8 erikokoista hallia ja kaikissa tiloissa on käytössä nopea langaton verkkoyhteys. Paikalle pääsee helpoiten metrolinjoilla U1 ja U2 pysäkit Gleisdreieck tai Mendelssohn-Bartholdy-Park).
