HEDF is a discussion festival that seeks to connect people who share an interest in the future of society. On 17-18 May 2024, the festival joins people for discussions from over 15 different locations all over Europe for truly seamless & hyperlocal public discussions. We want to break out of the usual virtual event mindset and create a truly immersive pan-European discussion experience.

To participate at HEDF you need to physically come to a physical room, but in that room you'll be digitally engaging with people in other countries who are also physically attending the festival.
