News #rpTEN
spring berlin takes its summer break. Our event platform presented so many amazing Berlin-based events during April and May – now it's time to welcome summer.
Even bigger, with even more topics: 3,500 visitors surged into Kühlhaus’ fourth and fifth floor for our #FASHIONTECH Berlin conference on June 29, 2016. For one whole day, visitors were invited to view fashiontech designers’ creations and to gain inspiration from new projects relating to the digitalization of the fashion industry.
Kitted out with virtual reality glasses and motion capture suit presentations, fashion experts gathered at re:publica TEN. Read up on the most exciting topics and themes from the #FASHIONTECH Berlin sub-conference.
The 10th re:publica was wild, colourful and exciting – but what did you think went particularly well and where could we improve in the coming year? To find the answers to these questions we turned to the very heart of re:publica: you. Thank you all for the important feedback we didn't want to keep from you.
Coworking, clickworking, crowdworking – the mere fact that these words have entered our everyday vocabulary shows how much digitalisation has already changed the world of work. Does this really leave us better off? This is just one of the questions that the Call it Work track at re:publica TEN addressed.
re:publica TEN – the full “fusion of netizens and society”.

On Day 3 of re:publica TEN, Stage 8 played host to the FinTech track. The participants had the chance to learn about topics like Bitcoin and Blockchain, as well as to gain an overall better understanding of how the application of technology in the financial sector is changing existing power structures.
New business models in the world of media, the future of film, media policy and press freedom - #MCB16 was marked by diverse topics and offered numerous interesting and exciting programme content during its two full days.
At re:publica TEN Philip Bans of dctp.tv talked to several speakers about their topics. In a longer video interview Markus Beckedahl, co-founder of re:publica, explains how it all began.
We are very thrilled to tell you more about our brandnew partnership with Digital Biscuit. re:publica embarks on a new endeavour and brings two of Europe’s most exciting tech and culture events together for the first time in Dublin, Ireland, on 20 October 2016.
Virtual reality was one of the biggest trendsetter at this year's re:publica. This new technology was discussed, presented and tested in numerous topics and locations.
The interplay of immersive arts and media was examined in the "Immersive Arts" programme at re:publica TEN's labore:tory. Speakers presented their experiments and research from the interfaces of performance, theatre, literature, film, internet and technology.

There there she goes ... re:publica TEN was the largest and most content rich re:publica ever. Over the next weeks and months you'll have all the time in the world to revisit our anniversary conference through videos, images and written articles.
Lost & found. A full 8,000 participants came together at the STATION venue this year – and a couple of hundred participants at “Performersion” – and with so much going on it's almost inevitable that things can go missing. Please check our lost & found list (with pictures).
As in every year, we're still looking on how to improve and are keen to hear your feedback. All you have to do is answer a few questions in our survey. Plus we're giving away five tickets to re:publica in Dublin.
Tickets up for grabs: we're giving away four tickets to the Digital Bauhaus Summit 2016 in Weimar. Featuring “luxury communism” as its motto, the annual “Summit for the Creative Economy” will take place 2 – 3 June 2016.
