About OKFestival
Following on from the success of OKFestival 2012, the open knowledge and open data community festival is back! Organised by the Open Knowledge Foundation and owned, in the broadest sense, by the open community, the vision for OKFestival 2014 is to translate “Open Minds to Open Action”. Participants from around the world will flock to Berlin for 3 days of inspiration, learning and creating.
The emphasis at OKFestival 2014 will be on practical participation. It will be a shared, immersive experience where attendees can learn, listen, brainstorm, make, hack, watch and explore. The festival aims to engage and inspire, and in turn active participation will shape the event and its outcomes. Read more about the festival’s vision and mission here and browse the programme here.
