Ifest

iFest - the Internet Festival and Conference is a new festival held in Edinburgh, Scotland in August 2007, at the same time as many of the other Edinburgh Festivals. iFest is designed to complement and work with the other established festivals rather than compete directly.

Launched in Edinburgh in September 2006, ['City has its i on a new festival', Edinburgh Evening News, 7 September 2006 [http://news.scotsman.com/edinburgh.cfm?id=1323132006] ] it consists of public-focused events and activities and a conference.

It brings together people from the arts, film, music, media, broadcasting, technology and telecommunication industries, as well as anyone interested in the cultural dimension of the world wide web to examine innovative cultural uses of the internet.

The festival is organised by the iFest Partnership, which is currently seeking input and suggestions to develop the festival.

"Proposals under discussion ... an internet festival, dubbed iFest. ... If all these plans bear fruit, the 'thundering hooves' are less likely to be the sound of international competitors, but rather that of thousands more visitors rushing to visit one of Europe's most vibrant cities." - from Winter 2006 edition of "Conference Call", the magazine of the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
