This wiki is an ever evolving draft in which we add our list of proposals-under-development for sessions and speakers. Once the session’s key participants, first draft of contents and logistics (date and location) and partners (ideally) are confirmed, the session is posted as an event in either the NGI , Wellbeing, Research Network, Earth Os or other category depending on the focus/intended audience for the session.
The Festival a nutshell
The structure of the program is that different activities organised by different crews in different places using a set of shared practices and tools. Development of the festival program content is an open collaborative process and happens via the online platform. The different teams coordinate via regular video chats and our dedicated chat channel (we use a self hosted, open source alternative to Slack).
The program consists of series of sessions and activities taking place at different times in different locations within a 10-Day period.
- Webinars
- Talks and workshops in Brussels
- Local meetups (matchmaking & partnership building) - Brussels Prague, Warsaw, Belgrade, Berlin, Stockholm
Registration: Tickets are not for free but can not be bought for money. You get a ticket by proposing, or helping to develop, a session or satellite event in the festival program.
