If everything around us is changing at breakneck speed, how must journalism evolve so that it is still relevant tomorrow? That's what we want to discuss at the b° future festival.
The b° future festival in 2023
How should journalism change in a world that is changing at breakneck speed? This was the question that around 500 journalists explored at the first b° future festival in Bonn on 15 and 16 September 2023.
Journalists and media professionals from more than 20 countries participated in the premiere of b° future that also featured numerous free events for the general public in downtown Bonn, including podcast productions, workshops, readings, discussion panels, and glimpses behind the scenes of the media world.
These two days were an absolute whirlwind of eye-opening conversations, thought-provoking panels, and inspiring moments that left me buzzing with excitement.

More than 200 media professionals volunteered at the b° future festival 2023. We express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated!
