BERLIN · the seventh re:publica will be taking place, turning the digital society in/side/out with the help of a wide range of speakers and perspectives.

managed by Andreas Gebhard #125,re:publica provides the stage to present many excellent, exceptional and audacious ideas. at the same time, it invites all guests to turn their output into input and vice-versa.

the motto of the 7th re:publica, in/side/out, sets the framework for all themes coming from the heart of the internet, which have spilled out from there into the furthest reaches of the “outside”.

we are happy to report that Song Hojun #3955 will be speaking about his attempts to overcome the boundaries between art and technology as he works to becoming the first private person to launch a satellite into a stable orbit around the planet. 

re:publica is one of the biggest conferences on social media and the digital community in europe. it sees itself as a political, cultural and a young event that has developed from its 2007 inception as a social event for bloggers to a vital yearly event in the calendar of industry experts and enthusiasts, with more than 4000 attendees in 2012.
