Held at the Southbank Centre, the festival is inspired by the work of Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web and produced in partnership with Sir Tim's World Wide Web Foundation.
Come and celebrate all that is wonderful and extraordinary about the Web - and also to explore its challenges and difficulties.
The Web allows us to communicate with people around the world, making it a vehicle for creative exploration, personal relationships and enormous business opportunities. However, there is also jeopardy. The ‘dark net’ facilitates underground online networks for everything from buying drugs to extreme politics. Also, universal and free access to the Web is under threat, as its governance is in the hands of a small number of people.
