TINCON Berlin 2026, Tag 3

TINCON (https://tincon.org/) is the festival for digital youth culture for everyone between the ages of 13 and 25.

TINCON Berlin 2026

From May 18th to 20th, 2026, TINCON Berlin is coming to the STATION Berlin for three days. And because we've been such a lovely couple over the last few years, we're taking place at the same time as re:publica!

Look forward to a great line-up with talks, Q&As and workshops about current trends from politics, pop culture and digital! On two stages, in an even larger making space, an expo area and in the gaming area, we'll cover all the topics that are interesting and relevant to you. The TINCON tickets are of course free again for everyone between the ages of 13 and 25. This also means that with your TINCON day ticket you also have access to the re:publica.

IMPORTANT: The TINCON is an event exclusively for everyone from 13 to 25 years old! Participation is free of charge, but registration is necessary and binding. To ensure that you don't take another person's place, please only register for the day on which you will actually be there and cancel your ticket if you do not take part.

More information about the program can be found at tincon.org. Follow us on Instagram!

TINCON takes place on a school day – can I still come?

Yes! You can get an exemption from school for TINCON. Here you can find the Form for a lesson exemption, which you present to your teacher or school management can.

I am a teacher or group leader and come with my class or another group. Is that possible?

Yes, it is possible. School classes and other youth groups can also register free of charge (including an accompanying adult). Please select the "Group" option and the corresponding number of tickets.

But please understand that certain parts of the program, such as workshops, are really only intended for young guests, so you may not be able to be there everywhere. There will be special program items such as workshops for teachers. You can find all the information about this on our website.

Do I have to print out my ticket?

No, you don't have to. In the spirit of sustainability, we even ask you to only bring your ticket digitally.

Do I have to identify myself at the entrance? Is there an age restriction for the TINCON?

The TINCON is only open to visitors between the ages of 13 and 25 and teachers accompanied by their class! Please bring your student ID card or, if you are 16 years old, your ID card as proof of age.

Visitors to the re:publica also have free access to TINCON on all days without age restrictions.

Companions of young people with disabilities of course have free entry and can of course also be over 25.

How much do the tickets cost?

Participation in the TINCON is free of charge for the above-mentioned people! But you definitely need a ticket, which you can get here on Eventbrite.

Cancellation! Unfortunately I can't come. Can I return my ticket?

Oh no, what a shame! :(

For our planning and so that we can move people up from the waiting list if in doubt, we would be very happy if you let us know. Simply send an informal email to [email protected] or cancel your ticket(s) on eventbrite.com under "My Tickets".

I am older than 25, but I still want to be there.

If you are older than 25, simply become a volunteer at the conference for digital youth culture. Help volunteer! Set up and dismantle, in technology, in accreditation, in stage management, in gaming and workshop support or in the making space! You take on a shift and can watch the event for the rest of the day. Please contact [email protected].

Because we are taking place at the same time as re:publica, you can also purchase a re:publica ticket and look at the TINCON program items. Tickets are available here: re:publica Tickets

Are films and photos taken at TINCON?

To document our charitable work, guests agree to be taken at our events. All event photos can be found in our flickr album. You can send photos at any time with an informal email including a link to the image to [email protected] have it deleted.

I would like to be available for interviews at TINCON.

We have received many inquiries from press representatives (print, TV, radio, online) who want to get an idea on site and about TINCON We are very pleased about this, because the reporting will help us to draw more attention to the culture and concerns of young people. If you would like to be available for interviews and photos at TINCON, please bring a signed Declaration of consent from his or her legal guardian We also have a short Info text written for your parents. You will then receive a sticker at the entrance that identifies you as a “TINCON press spokesperson”. If you are already 18 and would like to give interviews, please let us know when you enter. The declaration of consent does not oblige you to do anything yourself!

Thank you for your support!

I'm not quite 13 yet, but I still want to be there.

Sorry! Next year, okay?

My question isn't here!
