PublicSpaces Conference

Civic tech and digital democracyDemocratic innovationConferenceEuropean

Annual conference on public digital infrastructure organised in Amsterdam by the PublicSpaces coalition, which campaigns for an internet built on public values, and Waag Futurelab. It brings together developers, researchers, public officials, journalists, artists and activists around open social media, public-interest AI and digital autonomy from big platforms. Tensions: the paid main day (150 euros in 2026) keeps out part of the grassroots groups, and it relies on cultural and European funds.
