The Creative Bureaucracy Festival Jury 2024

Say hello to the twelve outstanding individuals who will support us in crafting a new festival programme that sparks imagination, challenges the status quo, and showcases bold projects for the greater good – the Creative Bureaucracy Festival Jury 2024!

Our global jury excels in digital transformation, city development, innovative project implementation, service design, shifting power balances, crisis management, Govtech programmes and more.
With past festival roles such as speaker, partner, award winner and community acclaim, they bring rich experience to the table. And connected across the Americas, Asia Pacific, Africa and Europe, they are respected figures in the Creative Bureaucracy realm all over the world.

Explore each jury member’s profile below, and seize the opportunity to shape the programme with us! Apply by 15 December 2023 with your project or spread the word of our Call for Participation to your network.

We're excited to introduce twelve diverse and experienced minds dedicated to bringing our festival's vision to life.

They'll be curating a selection of submissions for the upcoming Digital Kick-Off Day on 21 March 2024, and will play a key role in deciding which submissions earn a spot on the Creative Bureaucracy Festival stage live in Berlin on 15 June 2024.

Our esteemed panel will be evaluating submissions based on creativity, relevance and impact, structure and storytelling, and a commitment to a diverse and balanced representation. Learn more about our jury and join us on this exciting festival journey!
