HowTheLightGetsIn Global 2020 Online Festival

  • Catherine Flay

When Covid forced the IAI to cancel its flagship ideas and music festival, HowTheLightGetsIn, I was tasked with finding a way to make our offering work in these new and unprecedented circumstances. We couldn't let the HowTheLightGetsIn community down! So I oversaw the creation of an interactive, video-game style online festival with talks and music running all day and all night so that wherever our audience was in the world, and whichever time zone they were in, there was always something going on.
