When Networks Dance Together
At a moment when so much feels fractured, the Networks Festival offers a different kind of story.
Where joy fuels resilience.
Where trust is infrastructure.
And where organizing as networks is a strategy for change.
This year, the festival is more than just a collection of cutting-edge practice.
It’s also about how we show up, respond to tests of our dignity, and have the courage to lead with care.
Step into the dance – and co-create what's possible.
Why a Networks Festival?
Networks, movements, and networked organizations are driving deep change
Around the world, we experience their impact every day.
There is an incredible wealth of untapped knowledge and experience
Plenty of methods exist on leveraging collaboration and relationships for change.
But most leaders remain isolated – with more questions than answers
People feel in the dark. Resources are scarce. Going it alone is no longer possible.

Your Hosts...
In 2025, the Networks Festival is a living experiment in how networks can collaborate for systemic change.
The Fito Network and Greaterthan are combining their diverse audiences and resources to support a shared mission.
This partnership of networks embodies what we believe the festival is all about – achieving much more together than we can alone.
