re:imagine our European Media Futures
re:imagine our European Media Futures
A Meet-up by EIT Culture & Creativity, The City of Amsterdam, and New Dutch Wave in collaboration with VPRO medialab, CoECI, CIIIC, and ROM Utrecht
🗓 June 3, 2025 | ⏰ 16:00–19:00 | 📍 The Trampery (London)
Join us for an energetic and inspiring European media meet-up during SXSW London 2025, uniting 150+ media stakeholders from across the continent—creatives, technologists, public broadcasters, policymakers, and researchers.
We're excited to share an afternoon filled with art, engagement, and short, sharp talks from diverse voices in the field. Speakers will offer grounded, local perspectives from Amsterdam to London, sharing what excites, troubles, or motivates them about the future of media in Europe. Whether rooted in public broadcasting, activism, or creative tech, each talk will invite us to consider what it might mean to build toward a media landscape shaped by public values. Finally, we’ll flow into a lively hour of drinks, music, and informal connection—a chance to spark new conversations, meet collaborators, and celebrate the creative energy of Europe’s media community.
NB: This event requires you to bring your headphones for the AI Warm-up exercise.
