"After a long period of mulling a suitable co-operation between re:publica and the Reeperbahn Festival, we are proud to announce that it will finally happen this year," said Alexander Schulz, CEO of the Reeperbahn Festival. "It is a great gain for Hamburg as a media and digital location that re:publica, Europe's most important conference for digital net culture, is coming to Hamburg for two days this year. Backed by the city and the embedding in the Reeperbahn Festival, we can advance the debates around the digital public sphere in a unique creative and cultural setting," said Dr Carsten Brosda, Senator for Culture and Media.
