See you at re:publica 2011! #rp10

The past three days I attended the re:publica 2010 in Berlin, a conference about the consequences of the digitalization for society, business, media and politics. About 2500 bloggers and digital natives gathered at the venue in central Berlin to listen to presentations, discuss and do networking.

It was my first re:publica but it won't be my last. Most of the topics and speakers were great, as was the good mix of people and the overall, very constructive and inspiring atmosphere. Wifi hardly worked, and even 3g was pretty shakey, but still everyone somehow managed to feed Twitter, Foursquare and Gowalla.

I met a lot of people who I knew from Twitter, and got confirmed that I'm following the right people. It was a lot of fun and today I actually kind of miss going to the venue...

It's definitely an event worth attending -at least if you understand German, since a majority of the presentations and panels is in German.

I would like to come up with some critical comment as well, but I would need to make it up. So no, this was a really great event and I'm looking forward to re:publica 2011!

Glad you enjoyed it! I loved it last year and look forward to 2011. With all flights canceled my initial self-pitying about that I couldn't make it turned into some kind of relieve. Will watch all the video/ Photo footage online and read blog posts to catch up with all that happened in Berlin last week.
