An International Team
OKFestival 2012 is a community-driven event focused on collaboration and participant engagement, with several groups and individuals working together around the globe to plan the week’s programme. Festival decisions are made openly and democratically whenever possible, through conversations between Event Coordinators, Guest Programme Planners, Advisory Board and the Core Organising Team, with regular updates to our @OKFestival Twitter account and Facebook page. To speak directly to our organising team and guest programme planners via email, browse the categories below.
