Location

Cologne is the largest city in North Rhine-Westphalia and the heart of one of Europe’s most vital digital ecosystems. Many ways lead to Cologne — but as we strive to do our part to host an eco-friendly and climate-neutral event, we encourage you to travel by train. The cathedral city in the heart of Europe has excellent high-speed train connections, allowing you to reach the city quickly from other tech hubs such as Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris and Munich.

The Digitale Leute Conference Day occurs at the Palladium in Cologne's emerging tech hub, "Schanzenviertel". With the Carlswerk, an urban quarter has been created on a former industrial site of around 125,000 m² in Mülheim. Today, the quarter is one of Cologne's most renowned business sites, with established companies, young firms, various restaurants and leisure facilities such as a bouldering hall, the Schauspiel Köln theatre and concert halls like our beloved Palladium and the wonderful E-Werk — making it one of the go-to places for the digital ecosystem in the former industrial state of NRW.
