The new format hosted by the German Council of Shopping Places
More than ever, everything stays different.
But how does it look like, this city of the future? What about retail, and which role will we play then? At REBOOT, you’ll negotiate the tomorrow, and the day after with initiators of the retail sector and different disciplines. Please join and think, talk and argue with us, We are looking forward to 2 days filled with a pioneering spirit, discourse and fresh ideas.
Use your REBOOT properly: at the end, you must decide which topic thrills you most and which workshop to attend.
Will the front be the back tomorrow? That’s this REBOOT’s all-important question which needs one thing above everything else: a real 360° view. With this in mind, we have invited selected speakers who promise exciting impulses from very different angles. With one big advantage: they are not self-proclaimed future experts, but grown pragmatists.
Every day, these experts take responsibility for small and big changes bringing our society forward. They translate their experience into business models of today and tomorrow. In other words: they make applicable suggestions. They’re one of us.

The Kosmos used to be the GDR’s state-of-the-art movie theatre. In times when the entire world followed the "Space Race", the architects Josef Kaiser, Herbert Aust and Günter Kunert conceived their building in the spirit of space travel - yet the interior lights remind the jets of a space shuttle. After the German Unification, UFA acquired the landmarked building serving as an event location for special occasions since 2005. One is REBOOT, the conference where the day after tomorrow is on the agenda.
REBOOT wouldn’t be possible without our allies and partners in crime.
