TH/NGS 2025

RESIZE < REMIX < REGEN

This year at our annual conference TH/NGS 2025, we invite makers, designers, and thinkers to reimagine the creation of things through deliberate restraint, mindful reuse, and regenerative practice. 

Against the backdrop of global tech monopolies obsessed with disruption, we propose a different path: resizing our technological ambitions toward the local and tangible, toward things built to last and evolve within communities. We’re remixing existing materials and knowledge—both digital and physical—privileging repair cultures and collaborative making over extractive consumption. Most critically, we want to explore what happens if we push beyond sustainability toward active regeneration, and create things that restore rather than deplete?

Join us at TH/NGS 2025 where critical, ethical considerations meet the joy of creation as we explore RESIZE < REMIX < REGEN through workshops, talks, and demonstrations.

Location

We are happy to team up with AMS institute to use their great CRCL PARK location at the Marineterrein for our conference.

Program – Prepare to Be Inspired

We’re crafting a dynamic program designed to spark ideas, forge connections, and celebrate innovation. Picture this: hands-on workshops where you’ll create alongside peers, interactive sessions that challenge your thinking, keynotes that leave you inspired, rapid-fire pitches packed with fresh perspectives, and a vibrant exhibition showcasing groundbreaking work—including a spotlight on the most exciting student projects of the year.

This is where creativity meets community. Mark your calendar and get your early-bird tickets.

Participate and join the conversation

Your ideas and perspectives help shape what TH/NGS becomes.

We’re already working on an exciting new student challenge, reaching out to thought-provoking speakers, and connecting with workshop leaders who bring fresh approaches. But the strongest programs emerge from collaboration—and we’d love to hear from you.

Whether you have an idea for a partnership, know someone whose work deserves a platform, or simply want to explore possibilities together, we’re here for it.

• Let’s build this together, so get in touch. Drop us a line at team@thingscon.org—we’re looking forward to the conversation.
