Freedom Fest 2026 is live. 🔓
Privacy is freedom.
Digital ID. Financial surveillance. CBDCs. Facial recognition. Censorship. Encryption. Free speech. Open technology.
The public conversation around these things may feel new. The fight for digital freedom isn't.
On Saturday, 21 November, we're bringing privacy advocates, civil-liberties campaigners, builders, technologists and curious people together at the Pendulum Hotel in Manchester for a full day of talks, panels, workshops and Freedom Tech.
Freedom Fest is a standalone event taking place alongside @Bitfest UK. A distinct programme, distinct identity, one shared conversation about how technology can expand human freedom rather than restrict it.
🎟 Adults £49 · Children £21
