Warning! This is not a conference. This is a festival of ideas; so expect to come and get involved. The programme features workshops; a LIVE podcast programme; some plenary talks; a series of meet-ups to boost your personal network; a few exhibits; a Makers Yard; some curated pitches; lunchtime mindfulness; pop-up performance acts; and a final festival party to end it with a bang! The festival is set at Plea Innovation Centre at Here East on the Olympic Park. Come and join in the fun with like-minded folk.
