Our Programme Team is a group of deeply respected leaders and members of the open community with strong understanding in one or more open knowledge practices. They will advise and provide input on the programme. They’ll be striving to diversify the cultural, geographic and disciplinary lenses of the festival so that we end up with a good balance of original content.
Programme Team members can also ask for further advice to Programme advisors of their choice for additional feedback.
