FutureEverything - shifts dates to fit more in 25-28 Feb 2015, Manchester

future everything2010FutureEverything has announced a series of new programme additions, including new commissions, installations, conference speakers, film screenings and live events, as the pioneering digital culture festival celebrates its 20th anniversary and it looks uber cool. 

The Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) will be the Hub for the art, live and film programmes, and the conference returns to the neo-gothic splendour of Manchester Town Hall on the 26th and 27th February for more inspiring talks from internationally renowned speakers, plus hands-on workshops, keynotes and other sessions.

The festival will take over 'The Shed' throughout February as it becomes the Festival Lab. With support from MMU Digital Innovation, the Festival Lab will develop a number of new FutureEverything commissions, host prototyping events, design challenges, and international innovation labs. All of the projects developed at the Festival Lab will be showcased, tested and performed during the conference and performance programmes.

In its 20th year, FutureEverything asks "what now?" for our digital culture. Do we need a bigger vision than open, local, bottom up is best? What are the values and narratives that will define the twenty years to come?

Over the past 20 years, the critical futurism of the Festival has been surrounded by an organisation that applies this insight in science, in cities, as well as in art. For its 20th anniversary, FutureEverything is not staging a retrospective, but a platform for a global community to collaboratively reflect on the bleeding edges of art, academia, design and business.

You can find out more about FutureEverything (2 e's) at http://futureeverything.org and I suggest you start booking your tickets soon as they will sell out fast.
