Room: stage 1  
  
When everyone is looking for the perfect story the difference between success and failure is no longer money. Never has more creativity being directed into creating contagious content than today. Having created stories for the last 10 years we’d like to share what we’ve learned.&nbsp;
 From the outside founding political parties, burning money, faking guide busses, starting schools or buying airplanes and learning how to fly them might seem diverse.
 The underlying mechanics of these diverse stories are surprisingly simple.&nbsp;
 A designed and targeted story can not only make the life miserable for bad guys, it can raise sufficient awareness to trigger political actions. When the world gets increasingly entangled movement in one part of the system can have effects in the most surprisingly places.
 The world as we know it no longer consist of atoms, it consists of the stories and the best story teller wins.&nbsp;

Science Fiction: Warum haben es einige Phantasien ins Leben geschafft, andere nicht? Was kommt?

**motto**

During its nearly eight year history, re:publica has developed into Europe’s largest social media conference, with 5 000 participants in the last year, and has had the privilege of welcoming many of the digital society’s most important leading minds to its stages. Since its inception, the digital society has faced continuous changes – but never have these changes been so palpable as since whistle-blower Edward Snowden’s revelations during the summer of 2013.

re:publica 2014’s motto INTO THE WILD highlights various points of departure for solutions in the internet of the near future. When algorithms turn us transparent and controllable through predictability, perhaps we have to become more unpredictable; dissolving old structures, veering from the well-trodden path in favour of chaos and irrationality, heading INTO THE WILD. Yet this begs the questions: how will we navigate and find one another? How can one whisper into the global net and, in particular, with whom? Will those calling for a free and unrestricted internet not have to face being ever more vigilant and controlling of those who may partake and those who must stay out?

While the omni-surveilled net may have become draughty it will continue to protect its vital interests, learn to sidestep and manoeuvre and continue to develop. During the build-up to re:publica 2014, we will extend INTO THE WILD in search of unexpected technical solutions, surprising impulses stemming from business and politics and look forward to new, unbridled internet culture.

We are happy to announce the most exciting re:publica to date, happening from 6 – 8 May at STATION BERLIN.  

 Not despite, but distinctly because nothing is as it once seemed.
