12 days of programming
MozFest unfolds over the span of two weeks, with interactive sessions, films, talks, round-tables, hack-a-thons, exhibits, and socials.
Whether playfully or audaciously - it is only by imagining what does not yet exist: new pathways, new solutions, new possibilities - that we can break our silos and strengthen our commitment to operate interdependently. The joy of playfulness and invention that is at the core of MozFest is critical to fueling our movements.
