Half the fun of the festival is attending with friends, sharing the experience with other festival goers and carrying on the exploration of ideas in the bar after an event.

So we have created free flowing and dynamic social spaces across the festival site that allow you to join video calls with friends old and new. Our social venues are like virtual bars, with tables that you can click on which take you through to video meeting spaces where you can chat publicly and privately!

"Thank you so much for making it not only possible but truly extraordinary"

"Isn't this fab. Perfect vibe and brilliant way to unwind."

"This is world-leading stuff - they managed to replicate the feeling of a festival with the Internet"

"What the IAI is doing here is groundbreaking stuff"

~ Julia Aber, Ffi, Joe Butler and Marcus Warry on the experience at our first online festival in May
