The first of our core activities of the year is the Digital Kick-Off Day in March, which offers a packed programme of inspiring examples of creative bureaucracy in action. It is a free online event for everyone across the globe with jury-selected sessions from our global Call for Participation – kicking off a new year of public sector innovation and offering an additional platform for forward-thinking ideas and projects prior to the live festival in Berlin.
The Digital Kick-Off Day in 2024 took place on 21 March and counted 2,000 livestream viewers from 88 countries, with over 150 speakers from more than 30 countries, as well as 6,500 votes cast to elect this year’s community voting winners!
Until December 2023 we were calling all creative bureaucrats and innovative changemakers to submit their projects and initiatives to become part of the programme. For the first time, the programme comprised three different categories and offered more than 90 Project Showcases, Digital Workshops and Podcast Episodes.
The videos for each Project Showcase will soon be published on our YouTube channel. We will keep you updated on our social media channels!
