The re:publica conference programme includes everything that takes place on our stages: From panel discussions and lectures, interviews and fireside chats to readings, lecture performances and much more.

From hardware workshops, free DIY, tinkering, gardening with robots, live biohacking or TikTok dance tutorials: all sessions about making, getting involved and learning will have their place here.

Flash mob, field test, installation, exhibition, concert, pop-up happening, science talk & walk, guided tours, cabaret, augmented reality applications, water ballet and whatever else you can think of to fill the #rp22 grounds and help shape our Off Stage programme—artistic, activistic, scientific, technologic, informative.

No festival would be complete without music, dancing and partying. We are looking forward to musicians, DJ sets, karaoke organisers, producers of musicals and everyone who wants to celebrate #rp22 together with all participants and turn night into day.

The motto: Any Way The Wind Blows 

Anyone who has ever attended re:publica knows that the festival always ends with the celebratory and collective singing of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". 
"Any Way The Wind Blows" is the last line of this song. In the search for a motto with which to celebrate the first re:publica, where we will finally be together again after two years of separation, the idea of symbolically picking up where we left off with this motto suddenly seemed as obvious to us as it did emotionally. Because, quite honestly, we are so looking forward to seeing you all again! 
The new location on the grounds of Arena Berlin promises a great new beginning. Located on the river Spree, a breeze is omnipresent. "Any Way The Wind Blows" also describes chance and life in its unpredictability and thus fits perfectly as a theme for our programme. It reminds us to be humble when faced with a loss of control, but it also encourages us and promotes optimism. No wind can blow away all those issues that are on our minds, over and over again, and we will face them at rp22.
