The Unconditional Basic Income and Degrowth conference was held in Hamburg, Germany from May 19-20, 2016. A video of the opening keynote address, delivered by the philosopher Edward Skidelsky (University of Exeter), is now available on YouTube and on this page below.

According to the conference description:

The aim of the conference is to create a dialogue between the movements for degrowth and basic income. Each movement should learn about the relevance of the other and ultimately aim to identify points of intersection, common challenges and opportunities for cooperation. Ideally a long term network will be established that supports both topics and increases their relevance on a European level.
