Call for participation -- FSCONS 2017
4-5 November 2017, Oslo, Norway

The Free Society Conference and Nordic Summit (FSCONS) is a meeting place
for social change, focused on the intersection between technology, culture
and society. FSCONS is organised according to the principles laid out in
our Manifesto, a living document accepted by the society's members at the
yearly meeting.

The conference brings together people from a wide range of fields, and
merges the technical with the social, seeking both to activate and
challenge. Open discussion and brainstorming are as important as the talks
given during the conference.
Invitation

We're looking for proposals that relate to Free Software, Free Culture or
Free Society generally, as well as those which are at the crossroads of the
three or which take the philosophy and brings them to a whole new field. To
give you a hint of the scope of the conference here are some topics already
planned:

* Changing society: Redefining social structures for resilience.
* Art: Digital and physical forms in modern culture.
* Open Technology: Infrastructure of the Future?

But don't let this restrict your thinking: you can submit a proposal even
if it doesn't quite fit into any of the above topics.

The deadline for your proposal is July 15th.
How to submit your proposal

In order to submit your proposal, please go to
https://frab.fscons.org/en/fscons2017/cfp/session/new , register your

other people you want to suggest as speakers, please feel free to suggest

After the review period, ending July 31th, you will get notified if your
proposal is accepted or not.

FSCONS Norway team

Free Society Conference and Nordic Summit FSCONS exists to provide a
meeting place where subjects covering society, culture and technology can
be discussed and brought to lifee in peer discussions, without being
confined to each particular subject area. It should provide both the
physical and virtual space where people, organisations and governments,
with interest in the three subject areas can meet in a participatory and
constructive dialogue. The unique combination of topics creates a platform
where cross-pollination between the areas can occur, and where new
co-operations and thoughts can emerge which allows the participants to find
new inspiration even from areas outside of their own.
