The 9th annual MozFest returns to London’s Ravensbourne University, October 26-29. It’s a gathering of our global community network (~1.7k attendees) to discuss, workshop, design, and interactively engage on 5 core topics of Internet Health:
- Decentralization
- Privacy and Security
- Digital Inclusion
- Openness
- Web Literacy
Joining these topics we welcome Youth Zone, and Queering MozFest to the 9 floors of disruptive collaborations. This year’s theme is Data and You
We currently have an open call for session proposals, closing August 1. And I invite the SAFE Network community to consider applying to hold space in 2018.
Sessions should appeal to wide spectrum of experience and knowledge levels. The formats these will take:
-
SHED - workshops, design sprints, crafting etc. where attendees create something of value
-
GALLERY - weekend long, interactive displays, art & design, open project demos
-
LEARNING FORUM - roundtable discussions, collaborative learning, technology intros etc.
Each space has a limited number of travel and accomodation stipends to help us ensure a diverse range of facilitators, whom might otherwise be unable to add their voice.

The plus side of being rejected for presenting the SAFE Network is that I’ll be able to attend other presentations
