We are proud to announce Aline Blankertz as our keynote speaker for this year’s edition of Berlin Buzzwords!

Her keynote “Unpacking Digital Sovereignity: How to avoid fueling the nationalist rise” will discuss the quest fo european digital sovereignity in a time of rising authoritarianism, showing that digital sovereignty is prone to open the door to a nationalist agenda which favours the power concentration that led to Big Tech. After an overview of current approaches to digital sovereignty and the role of open-source within those, Aline will discuss what is needed to reclaim digital sovereignty to defend and strengthen democratic practice both in and through technologies.

We can’t wait to welcome Aline to the stage and hear her thoughts! If you like to join us, make sure to get your ticket now!
