Overview
Imagine a folk festival with many different tents -- tents for all different sorts of music, a tent where you learn how to fiddle, and maybe one where you make drums. Each has its focus. People move from tent to tent making up their own experience.
The Drumbeat Festival will work exactly like this. We'll have all kinds of spaces where you can teach and learn -- studios, labs, playgrounds, classrooms and even a few tents in the public square. Each space will focus provide a place to dive deep and get your hands dirty with some of the most interesting ideas at the intersection of learning, freedom and the web.
Of course, there will also be a main stage. It will include keynotes by Joi Ito, Brenda Gourley, Mitchell Baker and others. It will also include rolling demos and report outs from labs, studios and tents from across the Festival.

Proposing activities
You're invited to propose activities now to take place in these spaces (click here). Or, you can just show up in Barcelona with a desire to teach, learn share, demo, shill, network and make friends. There will be lots of smaller spaces where you can do these things in an adhoc way.
