me Convention: front row tickets to the future
Kick off September in style as the festival travels to Stockholm, setting up home base at the stunning Nacka Strandsmässan. me Convention believes most people aren’t compelled by just one thing, but the whole spectrum: art, society, technology and beyond. It offers a program that’s every bit as multifaceted as its audience, with talks from tech writers and political dynamos nestling alongside performances from international musicians and workshops from entrepreneurs and filmmakers. Plus, you’ll be getting up to speed with some of the world’s most innovative (and under-acknowledged) tech hubs with our Startup Cities Track, giving you insider perspectives from experts based in Sofia, São Paulo and beyond. Not convinced? Come for:
- 100+ speakers including yoga teacher and entrepreneur Adriene Mishler (Yoga With Adriene) , privacy expert Renee DiResta (Data for Democracy, WIRED), writer and musician Claire L. Evans (YACHT) plus hacker and tech magician, Tom London.
- 1-to-1 mentoring opportunities with innovators across the creative fields.
- Vibrant parties at Fotografiska Museet, the Mercedes Pop-Up Store and Södra Teatern including concerts by top international acts.
- Three specially curated tours of Stockholm including local hotspots, art & architecture and a tour of Stockholm’s startup scene in partnership with STHLM Tech Fest.
Explore the future and experience a different kind of festival – one where you‘ll party hard and learn even harder.
Look forward to insights into politics, art, yoga and the parallels between magic and hacking. Internet phenomenon (40 million views & counting…) and tech magician Tom London will explain why hacking is an essential part of innovation and creativity. Data for Democracy’s Renee DiResta will cover your digital security concerns, discussing privacy and transparency in tech companies and news organizations. Xin Liu’s work melds art and tech in one unforgettable mix, making her the perfect candidate to address contemporary creativity. Yoga superstar Adriene Mishler will explain why love saves the day in “Giving to Receive: Building Community & Meaning.”
