We're having our first ever [ATProto Community](https://atprotocol.dev/) event here in Seattle! Just a short month after [AtmosphereConf 2026](https://atmosphereconf.org/) , we're ready to get some locals together to talk atproto. Are you doing cool stuff for the Atmosphere? Interested in the open social web? Have no idea what we're talking about, but want to be in a room full of good vibes and builder energy? Then come by for an evening where we can chat about the future of the human-centered internet, and how we can all help build it. **Special Guest:** We'll be joined by [Eli Mallon](https://bsky.app/profile/iame.li) of [Streamplace](https://stream.place/) to talk all about the VOD JAM! Thanks to [INTDEV](https://internet.dev/) for sharing their wonderful space with us for the event 🙏🏼 If you're interested in doing a talk, don't hesitate to reach out to us over DMs 📧 Hope to see you there! <i>For updates, please follow the [@seattle.atprotocol.community](https://bsky.app/profile/seattle.atprotocol.community) account on the Atmosphere.</i>

PublicSpaces Conference 2026

The sixth edition of the PublicSpaces conference focuses on the impact of technology on our democracy https://conference.publicspaces.net/en Whereas in its early days the internet was seen as a great promise for our democracy – giving everyone a voice and providing unlimited access to information – today it is seen above all as a threat. The digital space is dominated by big tech companies whose primary goal is to maximize profits. The internet increasingly serves as an arena for geopolitical strategies. Non-transparent algorithms and the unrestrained spread of AI-generated fake news cause disinformation and polarization. As a result, a shared reality – with room for democratic values such as freedom of expression, the prohibition of discrimination, and the right to privacy – is no longer a given, and public debate and free elections are under threat. ## Healthy public debate A digital public space is essential for a healthy democratic society. During the sixth edition of the PublicSpaces Conference on Thursday, June 4, Friday, June 5, and Saturday, June 6, in Amsterdam, PublicSpaces and Waag Futurelab will explore how this digital public space can be shaped based on democratic values. This will be done through keynotes by international speakers, panel discussions, workshops, and, of course, the art program. This year, you can follow the program through three different tracks: Digital Autonomy, Public AI, and TheNextSocials (in collaboration with New_ Public). On Thursday June 4th, there will be a pre-conference programme. On Friday June 5th, the conference will take place at Pakhuis de Zwijger https://dezwijger.nl/, and on Saturday June 6th, Waag Futurelab will open its doors for a new edition of Hyperlink.
