Call for participation -- FSCONS 2014, 31 Oct-2 Nov |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
The Free Society Conference and Nordic Summit (FSCONS) is a meeting |
| 6 |
place for social change, focused on the intersection between technology, |
| 7 |
culture and society. FSCONS is organised according to the principles |
| 8 |
laid out in our Manifesto[1], a living document accepted by the |
| 9 |
society's members at the yearly meeting. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The conference brings together people from a wide range of |
| 12 |
fields, and merges the technical with the social, seeking both to |
| 13 |
activate and challenge. Open discussion and brainstorming are as |
| 14 |
important as the talks given during the conference. |
