FutureFest is a celebration of our power to shape the future.
The future is not something that happens to us, but something we can create. FutureFest offers audiences a space to push the boundaries, to connect with other thinkers and to find their own visions for what might lie ahead.
Created by Nesta, this one-day festival brings together thousands of people to occupy the future through a range of multi-sensory experiences – including talks and debates, comedy and music, artistic installations and interactive performances. Past festivals have welcomed thinkers and performers such as Edward Snowden, Vivienne Westwood, Akala, Jon Ronson, Imogen Heap and Brian Eno.
