Campfire Convention 001.UK

Those gathering around the Campfire in this glorious Black Mountains foothills setting will be empowered to contribute, enthuse and energise our new community to help the sparks ignite for a ground-breaking new style of event which has the potential to evolve into multi-faceted weekends staged and curated by the community itself. This weekend is our blueprint event. Brian Eno and Scilla Elworthy have accepted our invitation as keynote speakers and our music line-up for this intimate weekend is headed up by English roots powerhouse Edward II and DJ Greg Wilson. Daytime activities centre around speakers, panels and workshops. Campfire aims to seize the initiative to build and shape our own world. The Campfire platform, which is about to launch, is designed to be truly progressive in an era where increasingly, Facebook/Google-style algorithms define and categorise us according to commercial imperatives. The priorities of the Campfire community will be led by its members and its aim is to develop a truly modern co-operative which is designed to bring people together, to share ideas and skills and initiatives and to campaign for social change.
