We are a journalism festival with a purpose: Putting people at the heart of everything we do. That's why we've made our festival a unique mix of industry event and civic celebration.

The b° future festival offers media professionals from around the world the chance to take part in Europe's only festival for journalism and constructive dialogue. Located in downtown Bonn, the festival aims to foster discussion about how we can report in a way that is more constructive and solutions-oriented, and that fosters dialogue – all of which benefits both society and the industry. We also let regular people of all ages experience journalism hands-on by providing many free events, thereby boosting trust in and understanding of the media and fostering discussion within society.
