Accessible, open and independent digital participation is becoming increasingly important. The Digital Democracy Summit provides a platform to increase knowledge, build bridges and make connections. The aim of this conference is to strengthen cooperation between government, science, business and society and to explore how digital democracy can contribute to inclusive and meaningful participation of government and residents.

The urgency of the issue cannot be underestimated. Digital participation offers an opportunity to increase the legitimacy of government decisions and improve governance involvement. By using the knowledge that exists within society, we improve the quality and accuracy of policy choices. By involving different parties at an early stage, conflicts can be avoided. Digital resources support structures and processes that enable a culture of participation and contribute to a healthy democracy.

The conference will offer keynotes, presentations, panels, workshops and case discussions on the role of digital platforms in democratic processes. In addition to examples from government practice, scholarly insights will be shared. There is plenty of room to learn about digital participation tools and go in depth on topics such as the impact of AI on digital participation and the relationship between online and offline processes.
