The Golden Autumn night was this year’s political evening event of Das Progressive Zentrum.
Following the delight of our Berlin Summer Night, we were pleased to invite you to this year’s celebration: the Golden Autumn Night. The event was the ideal occasion to thank our many companions, partners, and friends for their continuous support of our work – and to bring inspiring people of different sectors and political backgrounds together in a relaxed atmosphere.
Around 700 people came to see:
- a thought-provoking keynote by Sabrina Schulz, a policy fellow at Das Progressive Zentrum
- a panel discussion with leading figures from politics, civil society, and the scientific community
- a subsequent party with live music.
In the following, we have summarized the program of the evening for you:

Thanks @DPZ_Berlin for organizing #Innocracy2019 and #AutumnNight. This final debate gives me hope that we might soon be ready to fight the climate crisis. Societal learning about a democratic social-ecological transformation has advanced & deepened over the last months.
