Q BERLIN is an annual, multi-day conference and a platform for transdisciplinary dialogue - providing ideas for structural change and collective action. Since 2017, the conference has made Berlin a home for debate, inviting politicians, journalists and artists from all over the world to address topics of global importance. The last edition of the conference, Berlin questions 2021 - Metropolis: The New Now, was dedicated to local solutions to global challenges, with a special focus on the future of the city after the Covid-19 pandemic. Hosted by the Governing Mayor of Berlin, the conference took place in a hybrid format for the first time: both in person at six locations in Berlin and online, via livestream and in the 3D virtual environment The Virtual Now.
