The global community and think tank OuiShare just released the program for its second edition of OuiShare Fest, the largest global event about the collaborative economy held in Paris from May 5 -7.
The festival is dedicated to the theme The Age of Communities and will gather over 1000 international thought leaders, entrepreneurs, non-profit and company leaders, grassroots activists and public officials to build a common vision of a collaborative society.
Unlike a traditional conference, the program is being co-created with the OuiShare community based on over 150 submissions to an open call for proposals. It will offer everything from keynote speeches by thought leaders such as Rachel Botsman (Collaborative Consumption), Michel Bauwens (P2P Foundation) and Neal Gorenflo (Shareable), workshops, artistic performances, to participative, experimental formats on topics such as the sharing economy, coworking, the peer production and maker movement, shared mobility and tourism, peer-to-peer finance, open education, shareable cities, and many more.
Special highlights this year are “the Factory”, a tent that will be turned into a FabLab for 3 days to build a variety of open source structures such as windmills, furniture and bee hives, and a Sharing Fair on the afternoon of May 7th, during which the public can meet some of the world’s most innovative collaborative economy projects. The last day will conclude with the announcement of the 5 winners of the OuiShare Awards, live music and an all-night long party.
If you are ready for a unique experience which will produce knowledge, accelerate projects and foster new collaborations, then join the event in Paris from May 5 -7!
