WHERE CONNECTIONS BECOME POSSIBILITIES

40 Days of Solidarity brings people together from around the world.

 

And some of the most meaningful moments may happen when we connect with one another.

 

Whether you’re a filmmaker, musician, artist, writer, human rights advocate, community organizer, or simply someone who believes in a more inclusive world, we invite you to participate, introduce yourself, share ideas, and make new connections.

 

This is more than a festival. It’s a global community.

FIVE WAYS TO CONNECT

​​​

MEET PEOPLE

Discover who’s participating! Visit the People list to explore fellow attendees from different countries, cultures, and creative communities. Browse profiles and find people whose interests inspire you.

​

SEND A MESSAGE

Want to connect with someone? Use Direct Messages to introduce yourself, share a thought, ask a question, or continue a conversation after a presentation. A simple hello can start something wonderful!

​

SPEED NETWORKING

Make a new connection in minutes! Try Speed Networking to be randomly paired with another attendee for a short one-on-one meeting.

​

You have between 30 seconds and 3 minutes to introduce yourself, exchange ideas, and discover something about another member of our global community. You never know who you might meet!

​

SCHEDULE A MEETING

Want more time to talk? Use Schedule Meetings to arrange a one-on-one conversation with another attendee. Connect across time zones and find a time that works for both of you.

​

START A VIDEO CALL

Sometimes a conversation is better face-to-face. Use Instant Video Calls to meet another attendee directly through the event platform.
