The Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) organises the Digitaler Salon at its own offices every last Wednesday of the month. After the talks, you can have pleasant conversations while enjoying cidre and pretzels.

You can't be physically present? Just watch the live stream on our website. Afterwards all broadcasts will also be published as videos. On Twitter you can find the salon under the hashtag #DigSal. Our media partner is Alex TV Berlin.
