Epistopia is building a new kind of festival for Manchester — one that connects future technology, music, science, art, culture and immersive experience into one citywide programme.
The festival will unfold through conferences, exhibitions, talks, demos, performances, workshops, installations, screenings, live events and public experiences. It is designed for people who want to encounter new ideas, discover future-facing work, meet collaborators and experience the energy of a city thinking out loud.
The programme brings together creators, scientists, founders, engineers, musicians, artists, researchers, educators, cultural organisations, technology companies, venues and communities.
This is not a single conference room or one exhibition hall. Epistopia is a programme of connected events across Manchester — built around curiosity, imagination, discovery and the technologies shaping the next era.
