GVL Live: Exchange, insights and encounters
GVL Live marked the festive conclusion of BV2025 on 11 June. The week before, GVL rights holders had already elected the delegates for the Associates’ and Delegates’ Assembly (GuDV). This made GVL Live the highlight of the Rights Holders' Assembly, which takes place every four years, for the first time.

Over 200 participants – including newly elected delegates, rights holders and industry representatives – gathered at the Berliner Festsaal Kreuzberg to network, experience inspiring ideas and take a look behind the scenes at GVL.
