Thank you for an incredible Mozilla Festival 2025

For 15 years, Mozilla Festival has been the home for big ideas, bold conversations, and the movement for a better internet.

The world’s most curious and creative minds gather for three days of workshops, debates, and hands-on collaboration to reimagine the role of technology in our lives.

This is your space to think differently, act boldly, and unlearn the internet as you know it.
