LABOR.A® 2025: The programme
LABOR.A® is the Hans Böckler Foundation's conference on the future of work. This year’s motto is JUSTICE. Fair work lies at the heart of a just society. Fair work for everyone – a cause worth fighting for.
We offer an exciting English-language programme for international LABOR.A® participants. The entire programme on the main stage as well as selected parts of the partner programme will be interpreted simultaneously into English. Sessions and keynotes that are originally held in English will also be interpreted simultaneously into German.
»I believe that in these uncertain, even gloomy times, it is important that we look at the strong values on which our vision of the future is based: And here, justice is central.«
ABOUT LABOR.A®
LABOR.A® is the Hans Böckler Foundation’s hybrid conference on the future of work. The conference will take place for the eighth time on October 1, 2025, again at the Cafe Moskau in Berlin as well as online. The event allows us to reach around 2,000 people in a single day; people who are interested in discussing the issues surrounding the future of work from a range of perspectives.
The goal of LABOR.A® is to engage with and propel forward the current discussion on the transformation of labour, to identify visions of the future, and to connect stakeholders.
Together
LABOR.A® is a collaborative project. The conference programme is designed together with partner organisations from academia, trade unions and civil society. They have submitted their topics to the Hans Böckler Foundation's Call for Participation. Together we stand for progressive ideas, for a balance of power and for dialogue based on facts.
LABOR.A® is a platform for connecting people who shape working environments in all its diversity: in companies, via platforms, as self-employed people, in different sectors and at different levels of the organisation. In municipalities, provinces, at federal level, in Europe and globally.

100 speakers and 70 partner organisations joined us on September 19, 2024 and created more than 30 different programme items surrounding the motto ‘fill_the_gap’ - identifying current gaps on the path to socio-ecological transformation as well as solutions and visions for the future.
Our YouTube playlist gives you an insight into the panels, sessions and some lightning talks.

How can we deal with the political shift to the right? How can we determine concrete solutions for shaping the socio-ecological transformation? What leverage does co-determination offer? And what does LABOR.A® actually feel like?
The Audiokombinat team visited last year's LABOR.A® and created a feature on the conference.
