TECH to the PEOPLE - Your guide for the Nürnberg Digital Festival 2025

Published on June 04, 2025

Ten days. Over 220 events. And once again, the Nuremberg metropolitan area turns into a stage for digital ideas, innovation, and real connections. From June 30 to July 9, the Nürnberg Digital Festival 2025 is your chance to dive into the world of digital tech—most events are totally free.

Whether you’re already deep in the tech world or just curious and want to check it out, NUEDIGITAL is all about showing how broad and human digital transformation can be. There’s something for everyone who wants to shape the digital future.

This year’s theme, “TECH to the PEOPLE”, says it all: Tech doesn’t belong behind corporate firewalls or locked away in labs—it belongs at the heart of our communities. In a world where digital tools shape our everyday lives, access to knowledge, networks, and innovation isn’t about status—it’s about attitude.

And since picking from over 220 events isn’t easy, this guide has everything you need to get started—from signing up for events and planning your trip, to networking and finding fresh inspiration.

As easy as it is: Be part of NUEDIGITAL

Create or log in to your account – Whether you're new or already signed up, head over to nuernberg.digital to get started.
Explore the lineup – You’ll find 220+ mostly free events! Don’t worry—use the topic tracks and filters (like format, date, experience level, etc.) to narrow it down and find exactly what fits you.
Register (it’s free!) – Click that sign-up button and you’re in!
Tip: Don’t skip registering just because an event’s full. Waitinglists often pay off—seats open up more than you’d think.
Check in and enjoy the event - After registering you will receive a mail with all details of the event and a QR-Code, that you can use for checking in at the beginning of an event. So be prepared at the entrance! Your personal QR-Code is similar for all events and can be found in your profile.
Caution: You can not attend an event? De-register and give others the chance to succeed the waitinglist!

How to NUEDIGITAL: Tips for your festival trip

To make sure your NUEDIGITAL experience isn’t just unforgettable—but also truly rewarding—here are some practical tips straight from the community:

Network in real life instead of just commenting on LinkedIn. Step away from your screen and go to the community events advises Aya Jaff (founder & author).
Make the first move: be curious and bold—especially when it comes to starting conversations with others recommends Michael Oschmann (CEO, Mueller-Medien).
Dive into the program: whether it’s a keynote, a workshop, or an afterwork meetup—the more you try, the more fresh ideas you’ll walk away with says Nadja Deuerlein (BRZ).
Come prepared: pick out specific companies in the schedule that you want to learn from suggests Saskia Smith (Sellwerk).

And last but not least: Stay up to date by checking the program, blog, and NUEDIGITAL’s social media channels (Instagram / LinkedIn) regularly. That’s where you’ll find new event announcements and the latest topics sparking conversations in the community.

Now is the time: Register, explore the program, reserve your events, and become part of the community.

Whether you’re a digital newcomer or a seasoned tech expert, the Nürnberg Digital Festival 2025 offers a space for everyone. Don’t wait—secure your chance to gain new ideas, broaden your perspective, and engage in inspiring dialogue.
