Open Knowledge Festival · Helsinki, 17-22 September 2012
The 2012 theme of OKFestival is Open Knowledge in Action, looking at the value that can be generated by opening up knowledge, the ecosystems of organisations that can benefit from such sharing, and the impacts that transparency can have in our societies. What kinds of new professions, ideas and community initiatives can emerge within our governments, markets, networks and neighbourhoods as a result of these engagements? The event featured 134 sessions including 306 individual presentations, 67 hours of hackathons and 61 hours of satellite events, altogether 484 hours of programme designed by 100 Guest Programme Planners.
