%X The article gives an account of the first Austrian nationwide Danish-style consensus                conference, held in the summer of 2003, treating policy issues related to genetic                data. Consensus conferences are currently widely discussed for their promise to                democratize fields of technological decision-making which are both crucial to the                fate of modern society and inaccessible to public involvement. Instead of evaluating                the “democratic efficiency” of the deliberative exercise, the                essay will contextualize the event in local, as well as international developments                comprising discursive, institutional and political elements. Rather than offering                definitive claims about the normative significance of the rapidly diffusing                deliberative technique, the discussion of a local experience with it will arrive at                ambivalent conclusions.
