Hubertus Heil, Federal Minister of Labor and Social Affairs, speaks at re:publica 2022.
At the Internet conference, players from the Internet community, science, politics and culture exchange views on current issues in the digital society.
Starting as a cosy blogger meeting in 2007, Re:publica has since become a worldwide leading forum on the state and future of the digital culture. Internet activists, bloggers, creatives, artists, business people and company representatives meet for lectures and panel discussions focus on the topics of digital society, blogs, social media and network policy.
The motto of Re:publica 2026 was "Never gonna give you up". Together with the speakers, guests and people of all generations, the organisers reminded us of what used to be fun on and within the internet. It was a call to action for tomorrow and a reminder of yesterday. In 2026, re:publica had invited people to reclaim the internet as a space and to shape the future of the www. The theme for re:publica 2027 has not yet been announced.
