MozFest 2017

Welcome to MozFest!

This year marks our eighth MozFest. More than ever, the movement for a healthy Internet needs a place to convene, organize and act.

Today, the concept of Internet health reaches far beyond the realm of open source code: it’s linked to civil liberties and public policy, free expression and inclusion. Access is no longer a luxury — it’s a fundamental part of 21st century life. A virus is no longer a nuisance consigned to a single terminal — it’s an existential threat that can disrupt hospitals, governments and entire cities.

The movement for a healthy Internet is primed to address these problems. But we need a hub to trade ideas, find inspiration, swap code and build solutions.

MozFest is that hub.

Our sessions, speakers and workshops are built to foster collaboration across disciplines, borders and continents. And this year, we're expanding the festival to include pre-week talks and gatherings, an initiative titled MozFest House.

We’re ready to face the biggest issues of the day — from fake news and online harassment to global cyberattacks — together, with an eye toward practical, open source solutions.

Thank you for joining us.
