REVOLUTIONARY TALKS
As you may already know, DGTL AMS 2020 did not take place on 11-12 April due to the pandemic, we took time to come up with an alternative program to provide something to our audience. This DGTL edition would’ve been the year to become completely circular and we were looking forward to welcoming everyone to this special journey. All sustainable endeavors, resource management- and volunteer program preparations were almost completed, and we wouldn’t be the Revolution Foundation if we would let that go to waste.
After multiple brainstorm sessions, we came up with an alternative online program to keep the vibe alive. We would love to bring the DGTL x Revolution Foundation experience to you while you enjoy the comfort of your own house.
We proudly present Revolutionary Talks!
This is an online, educational program that provided the attendees with talks that contain in-depth information about our circular systems, including the zero-emission tool, resource management, circular food court, and volunteer management. The speakers during these talks are the creative minds behind these systems and they will share their knowledge, experience, and take time to answer questions from the audience.
We would like to thank Contained Sessions for collaborating with us and providing us with the recording studio and video editing. In their studio, they produce (Live)stream videos of DJ sets from multiple angles, moving cameras, on-beat timing, and proper lighting.
