re:connecting EUROPE Space at this years’ re:publica in Berlin, from 8 to 10 May 2017 was an extraordinary experience.
re:publica is one of the largest and most exciting conferences about digital culture in the world. Since its foundation in 2007, it has grown from a cozy blogger meeting into a wide-ranging “society conference”.
Representatives of digital culture share their knowledge and decision-making tools, and discuss the future of the information society. Here they can mingle with activists, scientists, hackers, entrepreneurs, NGOs, journalists, social media and marketing experts, and many others. This fosters innovation and creates synergies between net politics, online marketing, network technology, digital society, and (pop) culture.
The 2017 edition in Berlin was far more exciting. More than 9.000 participants, 1030 international speakers from 65 countries who made up the 500 hour-long program. This is the highest number of visitors so far, making 2017 another record-setting year for re:publica. Young and old alike were represented on re:publica‘s 20 stages.
Amazing interactions between wonderfully interesting people, talking about tolerance, diversity, freedom, empathy, education and science in our digital society
