Storyblok is a Headless Content Management System that provides developers with all the flexibility they need to build reliable and fast websites whilst giving content creators with no coding skills the ability to edit content independently of the developer. Thanks to the headless approach your content can not only be used for one website, which is the case if you use a monolithic CMS. Storyblok empowers you to use your content on iOS and Android apps, as well as any other platform of choice (IoT, smartwatch, AR/VR) through APIs.

Web Monetization, created by the Interledger Foundation, allows automated payments from site visitor to site owner. A site owner creates a wallet (sort of a bank account) that has a payment pointer (the URL of their wallet) and adds a tag with the payment pointer to their site. If a site visitor has their own wallet, they automatically pay the site owner. They can also give an extra tip if they feel the site is worth it.

This payment is initiated by the visitor, and not by the website. Each visitor can set their monthly total payment to all Web Monetized sites they visit combined, and they can also block certain sites fromn getting paid.

Thus the website owner has no say over the amount being paid by individual vistors. What they can do is listen to the monetization event to find out if they're getting paid at all, and at what rate, and react accordingly, for instance by hiding ads or showing extra content. This is up to the website owner - you don't have to do anything if you don't want to.

A draft Web Monetization standard is currently under discussion in W3C's Web Incubator Community Group. Igalia is creating a native Chromium implementation that a few Chromium engineers have agreed to implement behind a flag as an experiment. Thus, a test implementation may be rolled out in 2024. You can find more information at https://webmonetization.org/docs/.

PPK will be around all day to talk about Web Monetization and will also be giving a short talk in one of the breaks.

Not only is Storyblok supporting us for many, many years now, but this year, they even make it possible that all soft drinks and plain filter coffee will be completely free! In the past we provided water and filter coffee and ha a deal with our venue. This deal was not valid anymore last year and I thought that the new price they were asking for was completely unfair. Now Storyblok steps in and takes over the bill. HUGS THANKS for being our Refresher for Düsseldorf 2024!

Vito is the online event and streaming platform by – you might guess it – Tito, which is our long-time ticketing partner. About 3 years ago they started working on their streaming platform Vito, but always with the idea in mind that ist should be more than “just” a streaming hub, where you could easily use one of the known streaming solutions.

Instead Vito focuses on the idea of building community hubs, where you would not only join, to watch one stream, but build communities to come back to, watch videos of missed streams, chat to other people of this community and much more. For us it is the perfect fit to gather people before and after the events and gather online during the event – no matter if onsite or watching remotely.

Tito is actually more than “just” a ticket system. They provide a perfect event platform to sell tickets for your events, to email the attendees for your events and to be perfectly prepared to welcome your attendees onsite, when the big day is there. We use Tito since our second event and are super happy with the platform, their service and – most importantly to us – the people creating and working at Tito. (If you wonder why we did not use it at the very first event, the answer is simple: it wasn’t existing …)

skate-aid is a non-profit organization (NGO) from Germany, that provides extensive child and youth Services through the pedagogical power of skateboarding. Since it was founded in 2009 by skateboard pioneer Titus Dittmann, skate-aid has implemented projects for disadvantaged kids and teenagers worldwide. In our projects we build skate parks in countries like Uganda, Namibia, Rwanda and Palestine and recently opened our newest skate park in Damascus/Syria in cooperation with the SOS Children's Villages. Especially in areas where social abuses and difficult living conditions prevail, we support kids in their development and encourage self-determined learning and intrinsic motivation. In addition, we offer orientation aid, contribute to gender equality and enable an increase in self-esteem, community awareness, personal responsibility and determination. The skate parks and the skateboard are the necessary tools to provide sustainable support through our workshops. The kids learn to get up after falling down. This strengthens their personality and takes away their fear of facing new challenges later in life. That’s our mission: we empower kids!

In particular, the following measures enable skate-aid to carry out its mission in the projects every day and thus providing genuine socialization-, prevention- and peace work:

• Construction and maintenance of skate parks as safe pedagogical socialization rooms with free access and support as well as structured leisure activities for kids and teenagers regardless of age, religion, skin color, social class and gender
• Participatory involvement of kids and teenagers in all activities promoting cognitive and social skills
• Carrying out free skateboard lessons (workshops) to promote self-determined personality development, resilience, integration and inclusion
• Free provision of skateboards, accessories and safety gear
• Implementation and promotion of national and international sporting events
• Implementation and promotion of youth exchange programs for the purpose of reducing cultural barriers and prejudices
• Carrying out special continuing education workshops for kids and teenagers on sensitive topics such as racism, drug abuse, environmental pollution, discrimination or AIDS
• Conducting projects and actions that support young people, promote their individual and social development, provide them with life and guidance and open new perspectives to them

Our mission is successful when we help kids and teenagers on their way to adulthood, becoming self-confident, enlightened, creative, enthusiastic, committed, courageous, persevering, frustration-tolerant and active individuals in their society. Especially where adverse living conditions such as war and conflict, poverty, racism and much more can endanger their positive development.

We’re working on it. Our Mission: We empower kids!

Communication like a story

Let’s talk about imagination: Brands are visual images in people's minds. They are characterised by experiences, emotions, associations and knowledge. We shape these brands. To do this, we immerse ourselves in culture and markets, sense the mindset of target groups and bring brands in line with the zeitgeist.

We give brands a face and a voice. And we develop inspiring narratives that express the brand DNA. Because a good story moves people, stays in their heads and is passed on.

We are Studio Kunst – Agency for Brand and Story.
