Are there new initiatives, programs, or goals you are currently working on or considering?
We aim to surprise our visitors by transforming every location into FOMO.
What was your motivation for participating in Network Festival?
The motivation was to bring together different parties in the scene, as there are too many isolated groups and not enough collaboration. The Network Festival offers the opportunity for young parties to come together and network.
How do you envision Network Festival?
We expect a blend of various backgrounds and disciplines, where people can learn from and be inspired by one another.
What can we expect from you at Network Festival?
FOMO will bring a lot of energy to the tent, with energetic electronic music, unique back-to-back sets, and atmospheric decoration.
Final message for the people?
Create together, grow together!
