Starts this Friday 16th

The 4th annual Convergence Festival starts on Friday 16th and runs for 10 days.

There will be a media centre to record, edit and stream events live online at www.convergence.sustainable.ie

The media centre will be a first for Ireland; run by volunteers, it seeks to exploit new technologies to take the festival beyond the limits of Cultivate, the sustainable living centre, where it is taking place.

Some of the highlights of the festival are George Monbiot and also a special session of Questions and Answers chaired by John Bowman. You can also access the festival online with live streamed events on every evening from May 17th to 23rd.
