The program 

In 2026, the program consists of a mix of closed and open sessions, to ensure meaningful encounters between the participating producers and other visitors. Throughout the festival week, campus participants take part in various components of the industry program that are focused on knowledge development. Meanwhile, the closed sessions offer space for in-depth exploration, mutual exchange, and a safe environment to discuss individual ideas and challenges.
