Is There a Cost?
You can “pay what you like” to attend the online festival. Our suggested donation amount is £30, but tickets are also available for any donation amount, or even for free. Once the costs for the online festival have been covered, all profits will go towards the offline, in-person festival to be held in 2022.
What Happens Next?
Everyone who registers for the online festival will be sent a link with a personal username and password for Open Space Organiser, where the main event schedule will be published, along with the schedule for IDEC 2021 and the opportunity for anyone to register their own event. Details for this will be sent out soon.
