PublicSpaces / Conference

Conference on Friday June 5th

Join us on Friday 5 June for the PublicSpaces Conference at Pakhuis de Zwijger and explore how we can shape a digital public space built on democratic values.

How do we build an internet that serves the public good? Who gets to decide how AI develops, and whose values does it reflect? And how do we create social media that strengthens democracy rather than undermining it?

5 June is the heart of the PublicSpaces Conference: a full day of keynotes, panels, workshops, and an art programme bringing together researchers, policymakers, technologists, journalists, artists, and activists from across Europe and beyond.

Programme

Across three tracks — Digital Autonomy, Public AI, and The Next Socials — we explore the most pressing questions around our digital future. Expect keynotes, in-depth panels, hands-on workshops, and performances. Find the full programme here.
