At the Barcelona International Convention Center (CCIB) on July 15-16, 2023. The CCIB is located in Plaça de Willy Brandt in Barcelona (check the map here). On the CCIB’s website, you can check the recommended means of transport to get there.

Barcelona is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city by the sea, that stands out for being one of the innovation and creativity hubs of southern Europe and one of the main tourist destinations of the world, what makes the Festival an incentive for cultural and responsible tourism lovers. Barcelona is also a city open to bring to life different and disparate projects, promoted by its citizens. The Festival aims to be a place of connection, from which contribute to collective consciousness and genuine collaboration.

From management, marketing, communication, sales, production, legal and organization, to speakers, facilitators and instructors, we are all volunteer people and we contribute with genuine value to the festival without receiving any remuneration in return.

However, we have unavoidable expenses like the space rental, production, hospitality, among others.

In clear accounts you can check all the numbers of the 2022 edition.

We are organizing more than 100 activities, talks and experiences around the central topics (activism, art, science and technology, education, diversity, sustainability and business)

It will be trilingual: English, Spanish and Catalan. In the Auditorium there will be simultaneous translation, but not in the City of Consciousness, where the person in charge of each activity will speak in its own language.

The Festival is diverse and inclusive, and capable of connecting everyone, becoming a wonderful alloy of genders, ages, cultures, origins, beliefs and professions.

We understand that human consciousness expansion must be a transversal phenomenon and under any circumstances restricted to specific collectives.
