information and knowledge for now,

the future, and after the future...

This is a major part of the Festival, and will take on a feeling of a symposium itself.   We want to create and educate...from the garage and from inside the digital paradigm shift we want to BRAINSTORM NEW IDEAS...and see if we can create while we educate...

 

We will add many panel and subject over the coming months.  Some will be created around the individuals that we bring to these discussions and talks with them prior to the festival, so as to create subjects relevant to them, and from suggestions in our festival social networking system...

 

Some of these will take on the boundary of the panel itself, many will be

discussed inside a number of panels and some panels will discuss a

number of these realms of thought.
