If you havn't heard about it - re:publica is Europe's largest social media conference, mostly featuring on digital life in culture, media, politics, and business.
Here is an overview of the sessions presented this year http://re-publica.de/en/event/1/sessions - a large number of those are in English. For example "DIY Microscope" or "Redesigning News, Deeply" or "The Amish Futurist and the power of buttermilk". Brilliant stuff, hopefully.
