That was re:publica Hamburg x Reeperbahn Festival 2025

On 18 and 19 September, we were guests in Hamburg for the third time. As part of the Reeperbahn Festival, we were able to inspire many participants with our programme at the Schmidt Theatre and Glanz & Gloria. THANK YOU for being there!

Over two days, we explored topics related to technology development, digital policy and digital culture in talks, panel discussions, live podcasts and meet-ups. Our speakers discussed with you how digital innovations are changing the way we create and consume pop culture, entertainment and media. We explored the connection between politics and big tech, took a look at deepfakes, and, of course, at Reeperbahn Festival, we couldn't miss out on examining the interplay between technology and music as well as the future of music production. 

If you couldn't make it to Hamburg this time or want to watch your favourite session again, we recorded the re:publica programme at the Schmidt Theatre for you. The videos are now available on our YouTube channel:

You can find lots of great photos from our two days on the Reeperbahn on flickr.
