Privacy Matters · Join Us This Saturday

This Saturday, we'll gather at Funkhaus for Privacy Matters, BREW's one-day conference during the final weekend of Berlin Blockchain Week.

Questions of privacy, sovereignty and digital autonomy are more relevant than ever. From privacy-preserving technologies and digital sovereignty to open hardware and decentralised infrastructure, a growing number of builders are exploring how we can create systems that remain open, resilient and human-centred.

On June 20, we'll bring together researchers, engineers, founders and curious minds working on exactly these questions.

Registration

We want to keep the conference accessible and free of financial barriers, which is why standard tickets remain free. Capacity is limited and entry will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you'd like to support independent, community-organised events and secure your place, consider picking up a Patron Ticket.

Patron Ticket holders receive guaranteed entry, workshop access, and a limited edition Privacy Matters cap, one of only 100 produced for this year's conference.

What to Expect

Throughout the day we'll hear from projects and contributors working across privacy, cryptography, digital sovereignty, open hardware and decentralised infrastructure.

Featuring contributions from:

Freedom Browser • Privacy Pools • DarkFi • L2BEAT • Crossbar • Circadian • Swarm • Nym • Sovright • Fhenix • WalletBeat • Mirage

The programme includes talks, panels, demonstrations and hands-on workshops exploring both the technical foundations and practical applications of privacy-preserving technologies.

Whether you're interested in cryptography, digital rights, infrastructure, hardware, or the future of the open web, there will be plenty to discover.

Funkhaus & FuturaCamp

Privacy Matters takes place at Funkhaus, which will also host FuturaCamp throughout Berlin Blockchain Week.

If you'd like to continue the conversations beyond the conference or have a place to work from this Friday, a limited number of FuturaCamp day passes are still available.

Circadian Cold Brew

BREW wouldn't be BREW without something thoughtfully brewed. We're delighted that Circadian, whose tea atelier is located on the Funkhaus grounds, will be joining us throughout the day, serving a specialty cold brew tea crafted to accompany conversations, reflection and discovery.

Circadian explores tea as a practice of attention, presence and deceleration. If you're curious about their work, you'll be able to experience a glass during the event.

If you'd like to go beyond a glass of cold brew, Circadian is also offering a special rate for BREW attendees. Tea ceremonies can be booked for €160 per person instead of the regular €250. You can book through this link to receive the discounted rate.

If you're curious to learn more, speak with the Circadian team during the conference.

We look forward to welcoming you this Saturday.
