DI.Day in Erlangen: Together for more digital independence

On Sunday, October 4, 2026, the DI.Day Digital Independence Day invites you to the ZAM – Center for Exchange and Making in Erlangen. From 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the focus will be on how people can strengthen their digital self-determination and gradually break free from the dependence on large technology companies.

Digital freedom starts in everyday life

Google, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and other platform providers shape communication, media use, purchases, and work processes. The DI.Day makes these dependencies visible and simultaneously shows practical ways to more privacy-friendly and democracy-compatible alternatives.

Focus: Applications in the office

The event on October 4, 2026, particularly addresses digital applications in the office. The focus will be on questions related to word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and other tools that play a central role in professional everyday life. The event experience combines exchange, orientation, and concrete impulses for the next step.

Switching together instead of alone

Digital independence does not arise from a single radical cut. The DI.Day understands the transition as a process and supports those interested in learning about suitable alternatives, asking questions, and making informed decisions. The open atmosphere at ZAM creates space for conversations between curious beginners, experienced users, and engaged supporters.
