The Pirate Security Conference is since 2015 an annual conference about security topics in Munich.[1] Since 2016 it cooperates with the Munich Security Conference. It is organized by Pirate Party Germany and international Pirate Parties. Most topics are about the impact of digital changes on foreign security and politics.[2][3] The event is primarily aimed at all European citizens, parties and associations.

At the same time, the conference also aims to offer the responsible ministries and authorities, embassies and consulates located in Germany, and international companies a forum to exchange views on security policy issues. The Pirate Security Conference was initiated by Foundation 42, the party foundation of the Pirate Party Germany[4] and is now organised and run by the Pirate Party Germany.

Topics discussed at the conference included key technologies for security provision, medicalisation and capitalisation of the security apparatus, cyber security, etc. Speakers at the conference included the politician Angelika Beer, the correspondent and author Peter Finkelgruen, the freelance journalist Enno Lenze and the politician Birgitta Jónsdóttir.

Aim of the conference

[edit]

The aim of the conference, which was initiated in 2015, is to provide a framework where different interested parties and groups can exchange ideas and develop and present new ideas in an official setting. The conference is also a way for the various pirate parties to get new ideas from experts in areas they are working on politically, and to enter into dialogue with politicians and these experts. The same goes for visitors to the conference; it is a link and a platform for dialogue between experts and society.[5]
