Border Sessions 2018

Presentaties en discussies over technologie en cultuur
Dit jaar bekijk je bij Border Sessions, het jaarlijkse Haagse technologie en cultuur festival, maar liefst negen presentaties en discussies van toonaangevende denkers. Zo hoor je in Women, Whistleblowing, Wikileaks van o.a. Britse journalist en voormalig Wikileaks redacteur Sarah Harrison over de rol van vrouwen bij Wikileaks, vertelt ontwerper Andrew Bullen over het inclusieve project van de European Street Design Challenge en licht New Media professor Vladan Joler toe hoe je met kaarten de onzichtbare lagen van de technologische krachten binnen onze maatschappij ontdekt en krijg je de kans om samen met Jeroen Boon van Kiemkracht je eigen Coöperatieve Community op te zetten.

“Op Border Sessions komen internationale vernieuwers samen om te speculeren over de toekomst. Innovatieve makers en toonaangevende denkers presenteren hun ideeën op het gebied van klimaat, voedsel, automatisering, privacy, economie, steden, macht en maatschappij. Een heerlijk moment om de reset knop in te drukken, je fantasie te prikkelen en verbindingen te leggen.”

About Border Sessions
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.
