Over 3 days we will transform The Harmony in Rødvig, Denmark into a magical & soft utopia of workshops, exhibitions, talks, panels, performances, shared meals and collective imagination.

‍

You will enter a parallel universe where we will imagine and create the futures that we long for. It’s a space for meeting likeminded people, getting inspired by the SOFTER network, learning new skills and asking new questions. Together we explore how a softer approach to technology can create more democratic, caring and creative digital futures.  

‍

This year we are also relocating SOFTER Lab to the conference, softening up the programme, with more time to participate in workshops, to engage with installations, and more time for collective conversations and to connect with each other.  

‍

We can’t wait to welcome you to the beautiful site of The Harmony and enjoy another magical conference with you all!

‍

Speakers, facilitators and open calls to be announced soon.

​This year we are going to delve into themes surrounding the relationship between nature and technology. We're interested in how we can utilise ecological thinking and more-than-human design to inform our digital lives and practices. We are curious about regenerative systems, the process of rewilding the internet, and consider how we can use empathy and mindful innovation to design softer digital futures.

​We'll start off the day with a full programme from 11:00 onwards and run late into the evening with snacks, lunch and drinks served. From 7pm there will be a delicious dinner cooked by a local chef followed by a party

Welcome to a weekend of debating, investigating and celebrating softer values in the digital world. Through talks, panels, workshops, shared meals and moments under the autumn sky we will explore how the future of technology can be based on empathy, care and community.
