DLD11's motto "Update Your Reality" refers to the impact of digital
technology for business, society and the individual. Being digital is no
longer a vision but a complex reality factor. In this context, the term
"update" is an important behavioral pattern.

The DLD founders and directors Steffi Czerny and Marcel Reichart want to
put the following topics for discussion: The importance of social networks
for media and brands, the global mindset of fast growing digital companies
and their financing, the transformation of traditional media, software as a
service (SaaS ), new retail concepts for local and lifestyle markets, Iconic
Turn and Third Culture, European innovation spirit, China and India, private
space travel, sustainability, and data concepts in art, product and urban
design, spirituality, entertainment and technology, transparency and culture
of participation as well as models of social innovation.

On Sunday evening, the DLD Chairmen's Dinner for partners and speakers is
held at the Jewish Community Center St. Jakob's place, including a speech by
the Icelandic President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson. The Monday evening ends with
the DLD FOCUS Night at the Haus der Kunst with a performance by international
pop star Duffy and IblameCoco as well as many art and media installations. On
Wednesday evening the Burda DLD Nightcap closes DLD11 within the Annual
