re:publica is a conference in Europe that deals with Web 2.0, especially blogs, social media, and information society. It annually takes place in May in Berlin. For three days, talks and workshops about various topics are held, ranging from media and culture over politics and technology to entertainment. All talks and discussions are streamed directly to the internet.

The conference is organized by the operators of the German blogs Spreeblick[1] and netzpolitik.org[2] and is funded by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg and Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung. Re:publica originates from res publica, Latin for 'public matter'.
