Villages
What is a village?
A village refers to a specific area or section within the event space, where activities and workshops related to a particular theme or topic are conducted. Villages provide an environment for learning, collaboration, and networking among attendees who share common interests in that domain.
Villages are usually staffed by experienced professionals or enthusiasts who volunteer their time to organize the content, facilitate discussions, demonstrate techniques, and assist participants throughout the event. They also serve as a central hub for attendees to gather, exchange ideas, showcase projects, seek advice, and build connections within their area of interest.
In summary, A village is a group of people who want to camp together and more or less organize themselves. Sometimes a village also wants to organize or display sub-events or hackspaces/town halls for their village. Some villages might set up a small data center, hack-tent, fancy lights, workshop/talking place, etc.
What is a village not?
A village is not a low-cost opportunity for your company to advertise or recruit during the event. While it's perfectly acceptable to support a village with goods or financial contributions, it's important to minimize overt commercial or governmental presence within the event. Villages are intended to foster community-driven collaboration and shared learning, rather than serve as promotional platforms.
How do I get/make one?
By organizing thoughtfully and communicating your vision, you'll set the stage for a successful and impactful village!
1. Get organized: Begin by planning the basics. Decide how many people you want in your village, what activities or themes you want to focus on, and how much space you'll need.
2. Define your goals: Clearly outline what you want your village to achieve—workshops, discussions, displays, or community gatherings—and how you'll make it engaging for participants.
3. Set up a Wiki page: Create a village page on the event's wiki to share your plans, gather interest, and coordinate with others who might want to join or contribute.
4. Ask for support: If you're planning something big or unique, or if you're unsure about what's feasible, don’t hesitate to reach out. Contact us to discuss your ideas and explore possibilities.

Can we select a location for our village?
Not the exact location, but you can select on which Fields you want your village placed. However, there is no guarantee about being placed there.
How does Village placement work?
- Villages select a preferred location and field. Please try to balance the 'usage' of each field.
- Villages put lots of information about their village into the Village-Form (click the 'edit with Form' button).
- Villages forming Clusters will be placed next to each other if possible.
Since there will be a lot of conflicting requirements, we will move most villages around on the field. This can't be helped, since there will be contradicting constraints.
The village orga team will try to consider as much of your requirements as possible.
ToDo lists
Currently there is a lot of unknown, we will keep you informed ASAP.
