🎉🎟 One last time, XOXO returns this August 22–24 with three days of people and projects we love from the internet. Registration is now open, surveys close Wednesday, May 29! https://2024.xoxofest.com/
This year’s conference lineup includes Molly White of Web3 Is Going Just Great (@molly0xfff), Sweet Baby Inc’s Kim Belair, Folding Ideas documentarian Dan Olson, writer/researcher Erin Kissane (@kissane), Aftermath co-founder Gita Jackson, Pulitzer-winning journalist and author Ed Yong, and Hugo-winning author/podcaster Charlie Jane Anders (@charliejane).
We’ve teamed up with our friends at Panic (@panic), BackerKit, and Glitch (@glitchdotcom) to bring back our Arcade, Art+Code, and Tabletop events with some of our favorite indie videogame, creative code, and tabletop projects. As always, we’ll keep adding things right up until the day of the event.
On Friday, we’re bringing some of our favorite indie publications under one tent for a daytime event we’re calling the Indie Media Circus, featuring the folks behind 404 Media (@404mediaco), Kottke.org (@kottke), Platformer (@platformer), Garbage Day, and more.
New this year: XOXO Sideshow is an evening with some of our favorite projects from the internet, including the first live Never Post with co-host Mike Rugnetta, The Pudding, SmallBu Animation, Every Frame A Painting’s Taylor Ramos and Tony Zhou, Depths of Wikipedia: LIVE! and more to come.
Plus, three of our favorite past speakers will revisit their XOXO talks: Panic’s Cabel Sasser (@cabel), Darius Kazemi (@darius), and The Verge’s Sarah Jeong (@sarahjeong). And the conference will be emceed by our friends, Jenn Schiffer (@jenn) and Open Mike Eagle!
