Border Sessions Festival 2018

Border Sessions is a yearly tech culture festival on a mission to kick-start and fuel challenging ideas, experiments, and multidisciplinary projects.

We unite creative and critical minds from around the globe who share the belief that technology should be a powerful instrument for positive change. We offer a multifaceted platform that connects various participants from public and private sectors. Together with our partner network and community we examine GROUNDBREAKING technologies and work towards SOLUTIONS FOR A BETTER WORLD. Border Sessions does this by organizing networking meetings, co-creation labs, workshops, sessions by inspiring speakers, a hackathon and the Border Labs Award.

Each year at Border Sessions you get to meet new partners, like minded people and gain new experiences and ideas. Together we present and discuss our work, merge networks, explore and implement new instruments and materials, as well as, celebrate our successes and launch future goals and important missions.
