#rpEUROPE
re:publica, one of the world's largest conferences for digital culture returned to Dublin from 7 to 8 September and aftewards continued on for the first time to Thessaloniki from 11 to 13 September. Activists, scientists, hackers, entrepreneurs, NGOs, journalists, social media and marketing experts gathered to debate the future of the information society.
Andreas Gebhard, CEO and founder of re:publica, states that synergies within Europe are far from being exhausted. Many creatives don't currently work together or only in a limited way. In spite of their geographical and technical proximity they simply don't (yet) know of each other. „We want to uncover ideas on how we can work together to co-create the future of our digital society.“
This year' s re:publica in Berlin opened with the re:connecting EUROPE Space. Find out more about that here. For #rpDUB and #rpTHE, thanks to the support of the Federal Foreign Office, we met players from Dublin and Thessaloniki's creative industries to debate about encoding techniques, creative coding and the role of music in the digital area. We also spoke about the neccessity of events as platforms for discussions between as many different people as possible, as well as improving connections between European cities.

re:connecting EUROPE Space at #rp17 – 8 to 10 May 2017
We were in Dublin and Thessaloniki in autumn of 2017 and wanted to know what you thought of our first double edition of re:publica goes Europe.
It’s only been a month since re:publica headed out on its digital field trip across Europe. We touched down in Dublin for the #rpDUB from 7 - 8 September and then headed straight on to Thessaloniki for #rpTHE from 11 - 13 September. Watch our re:cap Videos here.
We’d like to take the opportunity to present six of our speakers and our partners at WOMEX, who accompanied us to both conferences and helped carry the idea of a networked Europe to Dublin and Thessaloniki.
re:publica touched down in Dublin from 8-9 September and then journeyed across the continent to dock in Thessaloniki from 11-13 September. For a total of 5 amazing days, we got together with decision-makers, activists, organisations and the local communities to debate, discuss solutions and connect Europe.
Thank you so much for being a part of re:connecting EUROPE. We’ve prepared a little survey for you and look forward to hearing your feedback.
We prepared a special treat for re:publica Thessaloniki: A panel was co-curated together with this year’s rpTHE partner, Reworks Agora and their Reworks Festival. The Reworks Festival in Thessaloniki takes place directly after the re:publica, from September 13 to 17 2017.
These were some of our #rpTHE highlights from day 2! We’ve also got few tips for what’s in store today. Check it out.
