The pre:publica always takes place one day before the official festival. From 4pm onwards, you have the opportunity to pick up your accreditation the evening before and thus avoid any waiting times on day 1. You can also get into the re:publica mood with a drink and meet your re:publica friends!

pre:publica (Sunday, 17 May)

Start and Accreditation: from 16:00
End: 21:00

The day before, you can get in the mood for re:publica 26 while enjoying refreshing drinks in the courtyard of STATION Berlin. Get accredited in advance and head straight to the festival site on the first day!

re:publica 26: 18-20 May

Allow some time for accreditation and bag checks on Monday morning so that you can enjoy the first sessions without any stress. Experience has shown that there are often queues at this point.

re:publica 26 will take place from 18-20 May 2026 in Berlin. You can find all information on our website, in our newsletter, as well as on Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

re:publica 26 will once again take place at STATION Berlin! The festival site is located at Luckenwalder Straße 4-6.

We recommend traveling within Berlin by bike or public transport. Here you can find more information on how to get there.

An Awareness Team will be on hand for you at re:publica – on all three days, and easily recognisable by their white vests bearing the word ‘Awareness’. This provides a point of contact for anyone at re:publica Berlin who experiences discrimination or feels uncomfortable or threatened in any way.

You can contact the Awareness Team via the Info Point. You can reach them by phone on 030 2023 71439 or via awareness@re-publica.com. You can also contact the re:publica team at any time.

yes, a team of sign language interpreters will be on duty on all days of the event. You can ask for them at the Infopoint.

For more information, please visit re-publica.com/en/nachhaltigkeit.

The programme of Stage 1 will be streamed live on the website and YouTube.

We will also be recording the entire programme on stages 1–7 and at the Lightning Boxes, and will subsequently make it available on YouTube.

Unfortunately, re:publica does not meet the formal criteria of Berlin's Educational Leave Act (BiZeitG). However, this does not mean that you cannot apply for special vacation time to attend! 

We recommend that you speak directly to your employer. There are often special internal regulations in place for this. Many companies support attendance at re:publica as part of their regular training budget or through individual time off – even without formal recognition as educational leave.

There will be a wide range of culinary options on the festival grounds. Since 2022, the catering at re:publica is completely meat-free - both for participants and for the crew. 

Everything you need to keep in mind on site and for your participation at re:publica 26 can be found here.

Press accreditation for re:publica 26 is open! Accreditation is possible via our online form until 14 May 2026. 

All press information and materials can be found in our press area.

For press and interview requests, please contact presse@re-publica.com.

You can find detailed information on accessibility on our ‘Sustainability’ and ‘On site’ pages. Here is a brief summary of the most important ones:

Our audio system is required for the programme on the following stages. Bring your headphones and download the LiveVoice app:

The audio system will be used at Stages 1 and 2 for the interpreting, at Stage 3, at the Lightning Boxes, at the Homebase, at Speak Up! in the Community Garden, at the Meet Up, in the Makerspace, in the Atrium, at the Podcast Stage by Leik, in the Pop-Up Space, at Stage 5 (WDR-CIVIS translation) and at the ARD ZDF Media Stage.

After we have checked your enquiry/reservation, your ticket will be activated and you can complete the purchase process. It can take up to 72 hours for your enquiry to be processed.

Note: Not all NGOs and non-profit organisations are eligible for this offer. We reserve the right to review ticket orders.

Yes, we offer special conditions for groups of 10 people or more. Group discounts apply to standard and reduced tickets (not to Early Bird Tickets). The discount is automatically deducted in the shopping cart.

Would you like to pay by invoice or order tickets for a larger group of 100+ people? Please use this form to contact our ticket service provider Höme - Für Festivals GmbH.

It's simple: You should have an official document that was valid at the time of the ticket purchase that you show us before validating the ticket. The name on the document should match the name on the ticket. Important: If your proof does not have a photo, please also bring your valid identity card, passport or driving licence!

• Pupils need a valid school ID.
• University students of any age need a valid student ID or a current certificate of enrolment.
• Apprentices, corporate volunteers ("Volontär*innen") and trainees need an informal written confirmation from the employer or a confirmation from the vocational school or the training center.
• Recipients of Bürgergeld (previously: "ALG II") can show their Berlinpass or a written confirmation (e.g. official notice of eligibility).
• FSJers and BFDers need a FSJ/BFD volunteer card or an informal written confirmation from the employer.
• Pensioners (as well as all people aged 65 or older) must show a pension certificate or a photo ID with the corresponding date of birth.
• People with disabilities need a disability card (degree of disability is not important to us) or a separate confirmation from re:publica (via ticket@re-publica.com). Info on accompanying persons for people with disabilities can be found here.

Please note: The documents must be (have been) valid at the time of ticket purchase. The country of origin is not relevant. Your official documents should be in German or English or clearly and easily understandable.

We want to continue offering the Reduced Ticket in the future to make re:publica more accessible to more people. However, this only works if Reduced Tickets are purchased and used exclusively by eligible individuals. That’s why eligibility will be checked during accreditation, and only those who qualify will be granted access with a Reduced Ticket.

If you have realised that you purchased a Reduced Ticket but are not eligible, you have two options:

• You can transfer the ticket to an eligible person.
• You can purchase an Upgrade Ticket here. This way, you don’t need to buy a completely new ticket at full price but simply pay the difference to a Standard Ticket. 

Important: The Upgrade Ticket is only valid in combination with the Reduced Ticket. Both tickets must be issued in the same name and presented together.

Yes, your proof must have been valid at the time of your ticket purchase.

To receive your ticket, follow the link in the order or payment confirmation you received by e-mail. Here you can easily download or view your ticket as a PDF file.

You did not receive an e-mail with a link? It may take a few minutes until you receive your order confirmation. Please also check your spam folder.

If you still haven't received your order confirmation, please reach out to our ticket service provider Höme – Für Festivals GmbH via this page.

Of course you can! The easiest way is to buy a regular ticket for your companion. But there are other options as well:

• Accompaniment for people with disabilities
  re:publica wants to be as accessible as possible for people with disabilities. We design the festival grounds to be as accessible as possible for people with disabilities and provide a variety of help and support. Unfortunately, however, not all barriers can be removed. People with disabilities can invite one accompanying person to re:publica free of charge. In exceptional cases, they can bring more than one person or different accompanying persons on different days. The "B" (accompanying person) in your ID card is not mandatory. To do so, select the category "Reduced with accompanying person" in our ticket shop. You will receive an additional ticket together with your discounted ticket, which you must personalise accordingly.
   
• Other accompanying persons or animals
  We want all participants to feel comfortable and safe at re:publica. If you need a companion who does not fall into the "accompaniment for people with disabilities" category, or e.g. a therapy dog or assistance animal (proof required), please contact us as soon as possible at ticket@re-publica.com.

As always, please contact us well in advance so that there will be no problems at the entrance. Thank you!

The ticket for an accompanying person is only valid in combination with a regular/reduced ticket. Both parties - i.e. ticket purchaser and accompanying person - must be present at the accreditation or ticket check-in.

Children up to and including 15 years of age are admitted free of charge. From the age of 16, a ticket is required. A wristband for access has to be picked up at the accreditation. 

We recommend that younger children are always accompanied and supervised by an adult.

You have two options:

• Become a volunteer
  Before, during and after re:publica 26 we rely on the support of volunteers. As a volunteer, you will be admitted to the event on all event days. You will support us on a day of your choice for about 8 hours, of course including food during your time of service. If you don't want to miss the start of our Call for Volunteers, simply send us an informal email to volunteers@re-publica.com and we will automatically add you to the mailing list.
   
• Become a speaker
  You can apply for your own talk, workshop, discussion panel or other activities via our "Call for Participation" (CfP).

Students are in general eligible for reduced tickets. For groups of more than 10 people, the group discount is automatically deducted in the shopping basket. Unfortunately, we cannot offer any further discount.

However, we offer a discounted price for one accompanying person for each group of students. To receive the discount, please contact us at ticket@re-publica.com.

You will receive our volunteer handbook by email in good time before the event. In it you will find all the detailed information and contact persons. If you already have urgent general questions, please send us an e-mail to volunteers@re-publica.com.

Last year re:publica unfortunately did not meet the formal criteria of Berlin's Educational Leave Act (BiZeitG). However, this does not mean that you cannot apply for special vacation time to attend! 

We recommend that you speak directly to your employer. There are often special internal regulations in place for this. Many companies support attendance at re:publica as part of their regular training budget or through individual time off – even without formal recognition as educational leave.

In principle, it is not possible to have periods of work recognised as "Bildungurlaub/-zeit" (educational leave). However, the experience of some former volunteers shows that some employers are willing to make it possible, because of the educational nature of re:publica – so it's best to ask your employer directly.

Most likely we did not forget you. The shifts are allocated step-by-step. It is therefore possible that some volunteers receive their shift(s) earlier than others. If it is important for you to know your shift(s) by a certain date, please note this in the application form and let us know the date or send us an email at volunteers@re-publica.com

The most important thing is always to let us know as soon as possible so that we can plan accordingly. If you feel ill, please stay at home and let us know. Please note that a festival like re:publica is also exhausting on the days you are not volunteering. Therefore please only apply for one of the later shifts or for dismantling if you are confident that you will have enough energy left. Before applying, please consider carefully whether you really have the time, as every change to the shift schedule involves extra work for us.

Yes, the volunteer intro meeting will take place on Sunday, 17 May 2025 at 14:00 at STATION Berlin – more information will follow. It will last about 1.5 hours. Participation is voluntary, but highly recommended, as you can meet the re:publica team and your fellow volunteers and get to know the location.
In case your volunteer shift is before or during the intro meeting, you won't need the meeting :)

On our on-site page you will find information on DB event tickets and discount codes for travel and accommodation.

As a volunteer at re:publica, you will be on duty once for ca. 8 or twice for ca. 4 hours. You will help to realise the festival together with the re:publica crew and Crew Support and make it a great experience for everyone involved. You will have full access to re:publica and TINCON 26 in Berlin.

As a volunteer, you are not insured by republica GmbH during the entire event, but by your own health insurance.
In the event of property damage during set-up or dismantling of the event, republica GmbH's liability insurance will come into effect.

Yes, non-German speakers are welcome at re:publica. Just state your language abilities in the application and we will find a suitable volunteer position for you.

We will provide all the important information about re:publica 2026 in good time by email. You will receive a detailed briefing on your area of assignment at the volunteer meeting or before the start of your shift, which is why it is very important that you are there on time! You can also find out more about the areas of assignment on the volunteer page.

We try to assign all volunteers to their preferred areas, but we cannot promise this. It is best to indicate several areas in which you would feel comfortable. If there is something you absolutely do not want to do, you can also indicate this in the form.

On the day of your shift, you will receive a meal voucher for the food trucks on our premises. You are then free to choose where you would like to redeem it.

Tickets for re:publica 26 cannot be refunded, but you can give your ticket to someone else - as long, as it is not personalized, yet.

You can apply on our volunteer page and indicate your availability. You will also find more information there.

TINCON Berlin, the youth conference for the digital society, will also take place from 18 to 20 May at the same venue. At TINCON, everything revolves around the topics of young people growing up digitally. The programme is divided into many areas: Games, Net Policy & Code, Media Literacy, Science & Education, Music & Lifestyle, as well as Activism and you will take on a variety of tasks such as accreditation, workshop support, set-up and dismantling, stage assistance, and hospitality.

As a volunteer in the Tech Team, you will either support our technicians in setting up the festival network, the streaming infrastructure or laying the power cables, or you will be involved in data management during the festival for our service provider wecap. With the latter, you will be walking around a lot to collect media at the various stages.

As a Flex volunteer, spontaneity and flexibility are the most important prerequisites. You help out wherever support is needed. You might also join any department for your whole shift. This can be at the accreditation, program organisation or in hospitality - but physical commitment might also be required. It’s also possible that there are stretches of time when there’s nothing to do. Let yourself be surprised! You need sturdy, closed shoes.

In the position of Sustainability, you will be on the move, promoting sustainability, waste separation and accessibility. This may include documentation, information, communication or even hands-on work (waste stations).

You will screen-print (under guidance) this year's festival logo on items of clothing handed in by visitors to give them a sustainable souvenir of re:publica 26.

Please wear clothing that can get stained.

We have various workshop spaces spread across the event site, in which several workshops are offered each day by different workshop organisers. Your task will be to be available as a contact person for one of these spaces and to help the workshop organisers with the preparation and clean-up work.

Where can I find the toilet? When is the lecture? How do I log into the W-LAN? At the Infopoint you are the central point of contact for all guests of re:publica. If you are communicative and enjoy being helpful and answering questions patiently, this is a suitable position for you. To be able to answer questions from both German and international guests, you should have a good command of both languages.

In Program or Partner Support, you will support the program or partner team by, for example, transporting things back and forth between the stages, looking after the speaker backstage or the Partner Pop-Up or picking up speakers and taking them to the stages. There will also be idle times when you will be waiting for the next task.

Are you patient and stress-resistant? Then this is the right place for you. The cloakroom / suitcase cloakroom is located directly next to the accreditation. There are periods when there is less work to do, but at busy times you should keep your cool and stay on top of things. You may be assigned to other areas during quiet times.

Does the stage need to be cleaned up? Is there water at the stage? Does a technician need something to eat or drink? Are all the doors closed? Do guests need help? Do we need fresh air? You will assist the stage managers and contribute to the smooth running of the programme.

At the start of your shift, you will arrive at the Volunteer Lounge and wait for a while until you are picked up, as the individual stage managers cannot always plan in advance when they will have time to introduce you to your task.

If you don't want to miss any of the three-day programme and also like to be physically active, then become a build-up or -down volunteer. Please only sign up here if you are physically fit! We are particularly dependent on every hand during the dismantling after the festival, so please only sign up here if you are sure that you will be able to fulfil your shift.

If you are given a build-up shift during the festival, this will be a remodelling at one of the stages.

You will need sturdy, closed shoes and clothes that can get dirty. (If possible, please do not wear trainers/sneakers or fabric shoes - preferably work shoes).

You are our first point of contact at the festival site. With your friendly and helpful attitude, you welcome our participants or speakers, media partners and journalists or partners. You check tickets at the entrance, issue festival badges and admission wristbands. You make sure that everyone on site finds their way around and has a good start at re:publica. You should have good communication skills, patience and calmness in a sometimes hectic environment and a good command of English.

The programme on the re:publica stages is primarily in German, although there are also many English-language sessions. Stage 1 is provided with simultaneous interpretation.

How it works:

1. Bring your smartphone/device and your headphones to re:publica – and don't forget your power banks and charging devices!
2. Download the LiveVoice app.
3. Log in to the channel: At our headphone stages in STATION Berlin you will find the access code for the stage, which you then enter in the app.
4. Listen to the session and have a good time.
5. Please log out of the channel when you leave the stage.

We can only pay fees in selected cases and up to a certain amount. These are negotiated on an individual basis. Basically, we differentiate as follows

• Invited Speakers on our main stage (who are invited by the programme team) may receive a speaking fee.
• Invited speakers for panels and interviews (invited by the programme team) may receive a compensation fee.
• Speakers from the Call for Participation will not receive a fee, but will receive access to the event for all three days of the festival (including catering on the day of your session).

Thanks to our partners and collaborations with other festivals, we also have the opportunity to receive funding for travel and/or fees for selected individual speakers. We will clearly mark programme sessions that have been supported financially by sponsors and/or partners in the programme.

At re:publica you have the opportunity to become either a stage host or a moderator /facilitator. Here are the details for both roles:

• Stage hosts are responsible for a specific stage on a festival day. They will announce the daily programme, guide you through the different sessions and in some cases moderate the Q&A session at the end of each session. They also inform the audience about changes to the programme and highlights on the festival grounds.
• Moderators/facilitators conduct interviews or lead discussion panels. They are an essential part of a session, helping to keep the discussion lively, balanced and informative.

re:publica already has a pool of hosts and moderators who have worked at the event in the past. We can accommodate both full professionals and talented amateurs, depending on the size of the stage and the content of the session.

In case your are interested,, please contact the programme team at programme@re-publica.com to apply.

Stage hosts come from our community and are paid a small compensation fee, based on the size of the stage. The exception to this is our main stage. For our largest stage, we hire and book our hosts.

The re:publica programme is compiled from several sources. It includes submissions from our Call for Participation (CfP), content from our partners and content curated by our programme team.

• CfP submissions should be completed by the submission deadline, including moderation / facilitation for panels and interviews. If not, we will recommend moderators from our pool, but will not pay any fees.
• Partners can book programme slots and determine content, speakers and moderators in consultation with our team. The organisation and payment of fees or expenses for speakers and moderators are usually the responsibility of the partner.
• Our programme team plans and curates main stage sessions, interviews and panels, sometimes in collaboration with recommendations or co-curators from our community. For these curated sessions, we select moderators /facilitators, who may be compensated based on the size of the stage and the topic.

All moderators / facitlitators receive access to re:publica for all three days and meals on the day of their moderation.

The programme for the re:publica in Berlin is compiled by a team of curators who in this process try to accommodate a wide range of topics and speakers in order to create a diverse and relevant programme.

The curators carefully review the proposals submitted by the CfP and select those that best fit re:publica. They are supported by the track teams, external advisors from our community with expertise in specific subject areas.

re:publica strives to present a balanced mix of well-known experts and emerging voices to provide a broad perspective on our many topics.

In order to ensure the balanced curation of the re:publica programme, we have set up a "track team" for each track, consisting of external advisors who will review and evaluate the CfP submissions in that category. The track teams consist of 4-10 members, including representatives of the digital community, loyal friends of re:publica and experts in their field, as well as returning speakers.

"Tracks” are general subject areas to which you can assign your submission. All tracks (categories) are defined at the beginning of the Call for Participation (CfP). This season, the 6 tracks are as follows:

• Politics & Society
• Education & Learning
• Media & Public Spheres
• Science & Technology
• Economy & Innovation
• Arts & Culture

There are two festival sections: "Conference" for spoken contributions on the stages and for participatory approaches and workshops and "Off Stage" for all supporting programme taking place on the festival grounds beyond our stages. 

CONFERENCE formats
Talk, Debate, Panel discussion, Live-Podcast, Meet up, Speak up!, Workshop, Embodiment, Special format

OFF STAGE formats
Installation, Games, Performance, Intervention, Special format

You can find a detailed explanation of the festival areas and formats here: https://re-publica.com/en/cfp

You can write to us at programme@re-publica.com

For all questions that do not concern the programme, please write to info@re-publica.com

Thanks to our partners and collaborations with other festivals, we have the opportunity to secure grants for the implementation of individual program items.

These grants enable us to realize specific thematic focuses of the conference, but do not include financial support for the speakers from the Call for Participation. The funding is used exclusively for the overall organization of the conference and enables, among other things, the provision of infrastructure, venues, and technical equipment.

The selection of sessions and program items falling under the funding priorities is generally made independently as part of our normal curation process by the re:publica program team in collaboration with the track teams.

Once included in our program, we at re:publica then propose sessions that thematically align with the funding priorities to the sponsor. The sponsor only confirms the inclusion in the thematic special but has no influence on the initial selection.

Sessions that are (financially) supported by sponsors and/or partners are clearly marked as such in the program and, where applicable, listed on a separate webpage dedicated to the funding priority.

Here you will find an initial overview of the various options for presenting yourself as a partner at re:publica. Our partner team is looking forward to working with you to develop and realise your ideas. Please get in touch by email: partner@re-publica.com.

Interested organisations, companies and institutions can book paid programme slots as part of a partnership. The partner team advises partners on suitable topics and formats. Booked sessions are curated in collaboration with the partner and marked with a "P" in the programme overview. The partners themselves are responsible for the content of the session, the descriptive texts and for contacting the speakers and moderators. Partners are also responsible for any travel and accommodation costs incurred by the speakers. The re:publica programme team reserves the right to determine the content of each session. All sessions and the corresponding descriptive texts must have a connection to the topics of re:publica and correspond to its values.

By partners, we understand organisations, companies and institutions that work together with us in the context of our event. They are an integral part of our event and create exciting added value for our participants with their ideas.

Partnerships can take very different forms and can be summarised in four categories:

1. Sponsors and main partners: Institutions that support the event (e.g. by sponsoring a track or thematic focus)
2. Partners who book paid services in order to be present at the event (e.g. with a booth or in the programme)
3. Cooperation partners: partners with whom we cooperate on a content-related level (e.g. exchange of services)
4. Media partners: partners with whom we cooperate on a communicative level (e.g. mutual mention on communication channels)

You can find a current overview on our partner page.

Our partner team is looking forward to your enquiries at partner@re-publica.com.
