About

banne_about The 2025 edition will take place on June 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th. The Imagination Festival – Kinnernet-Europe, is a wild out of the box, irreverent, bottom-up innovation, creativity and cultural unconference created in 2013.The festival gathers each year 200 innovators and some of the most interesting people working in the media, art, technology or creative industries (science, business, technology, media, education, art, environment, social) and geographies (US, Europe, Israel and Asia).Our mission : meet, share our visions and invent desirable futures together. The  festival mixes in depth conversations, debates, workshops, but also creative and artistics moments. All participants are equal and contributors and set up the programme by posting the topics on their minds on large wiki-boards. As a network of contributive people, the Festival has the ambition to create and develop each year innovative and contributive projects.Co-hosted by Yossi Vardi and Marc Goldberg, the festival is inspired by the Kinnernet unconference created in Israël in 2003 by Yossi, one of the major figures of the innovation eco-system in.We have created a unique global and diverse community of innovators that challenges conventional thinking, identifies new forms of creativity, and starts global conversations to foster desirable futures. The beauty of Kinnernet Europe is its vision of people, and thought leadership with no commercial agenda, beyond generating, spreading and turning into action great ideas that can bring the best people together.We have designed the 10 Kinnernet Europe Principles to structure how we behave in Avallon during the unconference and to guide the culture that we are creating within the Kinnernet community:
1 We all share a sense of civic responsibility to foster desirable futures
2 Immediacy (It’s happening here and now)
3 Radical participation (everybody contributes)
4 Radical self-expression (the event is your stage)
5 Have some sense of humour (or play to pretend that you do)
6 Kindness (practice kindness for 72 hours)
7 Listen, reflect, respect (don’t suck all the air)
8 Radical self-reliance (take care of yourself)
9 Leave no trace (respect the environment and the people hosting you)
10 Live beyond the event (there are many Kinnernet events and It’s not about being re-invited but about what you will do with the community…)

Bennett Lieberman

Bennett Lieberman is a poet and visual artist who has also worked in academia as a theoretical particle physicist, and in finance as a quantitative trader. The intertwining mysteries of nature and language, and a desire to engage in practices that dwell on them, has been a common thread in his research, his writing, and his studio practice. His visual art, often text-centered, explores the relationship between color, image, and language. Poems or fragments of language, when viewed as overlays to paintings, photos, and color fields or as collage elements in other fine-art objects, acquire physical characteristics. Conversely, the visual elements resonate with transient and oblique meanings evoked by the associated texts. Recent projects have explored art as a window onto consciousness.

David Nordfors

I am a Data Scientist/Developer/Innovator with a Ph.D. in quantum physics. I want to apply my creativity, advanced mathematics and full-stack coding skills to make AI/ML improve the world. In my present position at BOLD I report directly to the CEO, ideating and prototyping algorithms and applications beyond the company's regular scope. I believe that we can enter a new economic era by using AI/ML for leveraging peoples unique combinations of traits so that they become more valuable to each other. Among my many interests is the similarities between natural language and quantum physics, such as superposition (e.g. Schrödinger's Cat: the word "Jaguar" is a cat AND a car at the same time until someone 'opens the lid' and observes it in context), and I like applying physics thinking when I design natural language technology. My physics background is a combination of computational physics and spectroscopy, which both are applicable in data science. I'm a Co-founder of i4j Innovation for Jobs, alongside Vint Cerf. I served as Executive Director from 2011 to 2021, when the leadership of i4j was taken over by Guido van Nispen. I co-edited the i4j anthology 'The People-Centered Economy' and wrote the first chapter, presenting a model for a people-centered economy. With the introduction of Large Language Models, the required technology for this vision now exists, making it a tangible reality. Above all, I am a builder, and when I am not building prototypes at work I build road bikes, grow hops, brew beer, bake sourdough and many other things.

Hey everyone, I'm Deborah Laks! I've been on quite the rollercoaster ride in the tech world and as a brand ambassador for the Israeli innovation scene. From crafting partnerships to whipping up marketing campaigns, I've been knee-deep in it all. My journey? Well, it's been a wild one! Started off in Peru, then Costa Rica, and spent a good chunk of time soaking up the vibes in Israel before finding my groove in Madrid, where I'm now raising my adorable 2-year-old daughter. Along the way, I've had my fair share of adventures at companies like Google and Pentera, diving headfirst into both the corporate and startup worlds. Oh, and did I mention my little detour into the culinary arts? Yep, worked alongside some of Israel's finest chefs for a bit! Now, I'm diving into a new chapter, partnering with a Spanish scale-up in educational technology, helping shape the future of education in countries that have less access to digitalization. One of my most exciting projects was leading the Waze community of map editors in Latin America. Community building is my jam, which probably explains why I'm always up for jazzing up a scene or throwing a killer dinner party. Plus, I'm a sucker for exploring new culinary scenes in different cities around the globe. Need some restaurant recommendations? Just check out my profile on Google Maps!

I am a Paris-based writer, journalist and critic, a contributing writer for The Atlantic and a former Rome Bureau Chief and European Culture correspondent for The New York Times. I am also the incoming Curator of Programs at The American Library in Paris and write regularly for The New York Review of Books. I specialize in textured profiles and features at the intersection of culture and politics but another favorite form is the postcard. I have reported from more than two dozen countries and interviewed heads of state and cultural figures, including four Nobel Laureates in literature. I have also unraveled the mystery of Elena Ferrante’s identity, met two popes, taught journalism at Princeton, interviewed the Zelenskys in wartime Kyiv and directed an artist residency in Italy. I grew up in Vermont and have lived my adult life in New York, Rome and Paris. I spent much of the pandemic on a Greek island and emerged wiser.

I am driven by the desire to contribute to a world world where all businesses marry profit and purpose and inject optimism, curiosity and adaptability into everything I do. The roots of my work promote the spirit of entrepreneurship, the ability to navigate uncertainty and meaningful collaboration. These roots are increasingly fed by the constant wonders of learning from the systems of nature, to inspire better ways of working. In a world where increased uncertainty is the only certainty, we have a unique opportunity to see that the world is constantly evolving, not predictable; and our emotional reaction to this monumental shift can be fear, but can also be hope. I see hope as an active, moral choice which we can all cultivate. , I help purpose-driven leaders grow their companies - and associated positive impact - more easily through practical tools, complementary collaborations and the learned confidence to adapt in new ways to the growing challenges of a fast changing world.. Their ability to thrive in adversity means their hope of contributing to a better world through business is translated into a tangible reality.

I was born and raised in the beautiful region of Provence. While contemplating my higher education options, I made the decision to move to Paris to pursue an MBA. This experience opened doors for me to explore different parts of the world, including the USA, UK, Argentina, and more. During this time, I had the opportunity to work in finance for renowned luxury brands. However, as time went on, I felt a calling to make a significant change in my life. I made the courageous decision to leave behind my previous career and return to Provence. I embraced the opportunity to join my family's business, specializing in plant production. It has been a fulfilling journey to contribute to the growth and success of our family enterprise. In addition to my commitment to the family business, I am the President of the local business club, Round Table. Our main objective is to raise funds for children in need, while also fostering a sense of community and collaboration within the local area. It is a cause that holds great importance to me, and I find immense satisfaction in making a positive impact in the lives of others.

Currently I live in France, but my homeland is Ukraine, and most of my working activities are still connected with it. I started my career in the PR realm when I was 18. At 20 years old, I made my first project as an entrepreneur. Ukraine gave me lots of opportunities to boost my career path and improve my leadership skills, and thanks to the favorable environment, my agency still holds a firm position in the niche. As a women-entrepreneur in the tech industry, I regularly stumble on problems and stereotypes related to gender. Ambitious and empowered women face such issues like impostor syndrome and glass ceiling. That is why, my partner and I decided to help other women move forward in their careers, find role models and get mentoring whether it is needed. Originally we have started with the main goal of supporting women in a mainly male-dominated tech industry. After the full-fledged war in Ukraine started, we changed our focus to supporting women who were forced to flee and adapt to new countries and markets. We have a broad network of professionals worldwide that helped our members to integrate to new ecosystems. Currently, Wtech has more than 5 000 members and 50 volunteers within the community. Now we support female leaders in 20 countries

By aiming to close the loops of water, energy, CO2 and waste, Xander proved that respect for humans and respect for planet can go hand in hand. And that a better society begins with a connected community. In everything he does, Xander heralds his core values: Good Energy, Humble Food, Fresh Thinking, Beautiful People and Local Creativity.

I am a strategy scholar specialising in quantitative research of business ethics and corporate social responsibility at London Business School, with an emphasis on socio-political strategies. My research seeks to help stakeholders understand what drives bad behaviour in firms, and by firms so that the conditions leading to potential costly organizational misconduct can be avoided. I research a wide variety of settings ranging from stock option backdating and financial restatements, to student plagiarism violence in professional sports and violations of health standards in elderly care-homes. In a related research stream I examine how, in a politically polarized world, social mobilisation to support diversity, environmental sustainability and labour safety can in fact push some firms to pollute, discriminate and abuse labour even more. Before joining Academia, I served as the domestic policy advisor for FMP Benjamin Netanyahu (2005-2007) and the heads of the Economics and Government Oversight Committees in Israel.

Diana Saliceti is a singer and journalist from Corsica, a little island in the Mediterranean sea. She writes and composes her songs in her native language which is Corsican but in English or French too. She made a first album in a really old house in the island’s mountains but she also had the opportunity to live in Ireland, Spain, Quebec, New York and Paris. She loves making her culture to travel, she loves meeting people and she enjoys experiences of sharing and humanism. To her, being a part of a vanishing world and saving what is the most important is necessary to build tomorrow’s. Diana is deeply rooted in her ancestors’ land but she’s building bridges on the circumferences of the Mediterranean Sea. That is why we find in her voice airs of Italian tarantellae, Portuguese fado or African incantations. It is nevertheless from the traditional polyphonic Corsican singing that she drew her love of music.

I’ve been reporting on lifestyle trends since 2004 while in the branding and storytelling industry and only here I’m sure we have a lot to talk about. However, I’d prefer if we dig deeper into the web of change, especially from a values and sociological perspective. Yet, what gets me going even more at this point is more within the realms of anthropology - shamanism and particularly shamanic states of consciousness, raising energetic levels beyond the ordinary. In my work life, I’m pretty good at grinding down highly complex brands into meaningful simplicity where organisation, ownership structures and/or wide scopes pose a major challenge to coherence and a common sense of purpose. I’ve done this with nations and several organisations with up to 24 000 employees.

The amount and richness of experimental and field data together with all the information that dan be gathered from our digital print gives us a sand box to play with hitherto unexplored aspects of crucial aspects of emergent properties of our social life such as cooperation, collective intelligence and diversity.

I am a Data Scientist/Developer/Innovator with a Ph.D. in quantum physics. I want to apply my creativity, advanced mathematics and full-stack coding skills to make AI/ML improve the world. In my present position at BOLD I report directly to the CEO, ideating and prototyping algorithms and applications beyond the company's regular scope. I believe that we can enter a new economic era by using AI/ML for leveraging peoples unique combinations of traits so that they become more valuable to each other. Among my many interests is the similarities between natural language and quantum physics, such as superposition (e.g. Schrödinger's Cat: the word "Jaguar" is a cat AND a car at the same time until someone 'opens the lid' and observes it in context), and I like applying physics thinking when I design natural language technology. My physics background is a combination of computational physics and spectroscopy, which both are applicable in data science. I'm a Co-founder of i4j Innovation for Jobs, alongside Vint Cerf. I served as Executive Director from 2011 to 2021, when the leadership of i4j was taken over by Guido van Nispen. I co-edited the i4j anthology 'The People-Centered Economy' and wrote the first chapter, presenting a model for a people-centered economy. With the introduction of Large Language Models, the required technology for this vision now exists, making it a tangible reality. Above all, I am a builder, and when I am not building prototypes at work I build road bikes, grow hops, brew beer, bake sourdough and many other things.

As an executive private chef, I spend my week creating cuisine inspired by the seasonal harvest in the San Francisco Bay Area and Napa Valley wine region of Northern California. My daily goals focus on transforming organic meats, poultry, seafood, fruits, vegetables, and grains into pleasing meals for those who consume the work of my knives and my knowledge of fire. The sound of “yum” filling my ears is one of my greatest job rewards. Being a conduit that brings people together to share a meal is another. Sourcing the freshest and most sustainable ingredients and supporting the local economy of farmers, ranchers, fisherman and other specialty purveyors is always my priority. My cooking style is heavily influenced by my two years of full-time study at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in the Napa Valley AVA, California.

I’m a chef from Paraná, Brazil. My only "son" is the Manu restaurant in Curitiba, and it is here that I cooks experiments with naturally Brazilian products, mostly from the region of Paraná. My products are carefully selected. Good taste and sophistication are keywords in my productions. The care and handling with the inputs is strict, for me, every detail counts. Urban garden and Manu Buffara Manu Buffara could not resist. Cried Before hundreds of people, when asked to talk about healthy eating, at the lunch that promoted on Sunday (24), in the Horta of Rio Bonito, in Campo de Santana, outskirts of Curitiba. She gets emotional even when she realizes that people around her are aware of what she says, about the best way to eat and enjoy food. And there were hundreds, all from the local community, from active families in the day-to-day community garden there - and a few others who came to see what was happening and stayed there, delighted by the good food and the proposal served. Lunch was her initiative, which dealt with everything from the meat (ribs) donated by organic producers - which she baked from yesterday, in her own restaurant - to the different draft of one of the many artisan producers in the surroundings of the city. He also made the pita bread, which he roasted at one of the barbecue grills installed on the spot. The mayonnaise had the beet root of the own vegetable garden, harvested at the time, as well as all the leaves that composed the salad that accompanied the meat in the bread. The lunch cost R $ 5 per dish, plus the same for the beer and all income was reversed in favor of the Association of Residents of Rio Bonito, which, through its president, Delso Moretti, manages and manages the urban vegetable garden that integrates the program of the Municipal Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply of the Municipality of Curitiba. Manu does an admirable job there, as admirable is practically everything that is around him. When the idea of ​​launching the Chef's Horta project came up earlier this year, she was the first to join. More than that: it has practically become the leader of all, to suggest prices, values, form of harvest and other points to be observed. Chef's Vegetable Garden The urban vegetable garden had been around for quite some time, since 2011, Chef began to take over the work in 2013, but in 2016 she started bringing other chefs, cooks to a project drafted by her and the Department of Supply. The production was too large for the small local demand, since the consumption was practically of the relatives and friendly near the hortairs. The idea of ​​joining the production tip with the outlet end, the restaurants, allowed the cooks to approach and practically interact with the producers, suggesting items to be planted and choosing the best time to harvest. Only with the contribution of the chefs in the purchase of the products, the association has already collected enough to guarantee more inputs for new plantations. Except that Manu Buffara could just pop in there, pick up the greens of desire, and leave. But she could not help herself, she wanted more. I wanted to teach the local villager the best way to enjoy every vegetable or vegetable. The stem of it, the leaf of the other, to the flower and the bark of some, why not? Then came the idea of ​​promoting this lunch, which filled with emotion the Sunday in the garden. She and all those present who have felt how passionate she is for what she does and what is not for free the international recognition she has been getting in recent years since her restaurant was elected by two different publications (Quatro Rodas e Prazeres da Mesa ) as the best in Brazil, thereby opening the borders of the world. Manu Buffara is very big, for what he is and for what he does. Unfortunately, it just does not have the proper return in the city where it built all this pillar of success, since 75% of the visitors to its restaurant, the Manu, are customers from other cities. But one day she will certainly still have the same recognition among us. Who cooks with so much feeling and passes so much emotion thus to tell and to teach what it does, always deserves the best. Journalist: Luiz Augusto Xavier Besides being a journalist, he was part of the Chef project in 2016 and 2017, as a volunteer.

We believe this moment is asking something new and outrageous from all of us: to embark on an uncharted path, filled with complex and moving variables, while supporting and caring for each other as we face the emotional, relational, economic, environmental and social challenges we are immersed in. As we remain steadfast, keeping our hearts on our values and our eyes on our vision, every situation, feeling, thought, and action becomes a mutual teaching moment and an integral part of our transformation.

My daily goals focus on transforming organic meats, poultry, seafood, fruits, vegetables, and grains into pleasing meals for those who consume the work of my knives and my knowledge of fire. The sound of “yum” filling my ears is one of my greatest job rewards. Being a conduit that brings people together to share a meal is another. Sourcing the freshest and most sustainable ingredients and supporting the local economy of farmers, ranchers, fisherman and other specialty purveyors is always my priority. My cooking style is heavily influenced by my two years of full-time study at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in the Napa Valley AVA, California.

As a starving engineer, I have dedicated my adult life to helping starving artists use technology to further their creative visions. Much of this has shown at Burning Man over the years including Marco Cochrane's Bliss Dance, Peter Hudson's Charon, The Windmill Factory's Pixel Forest, Robert Bose's Balloon Chain, and Aaron Taylor Kuffner's Gamelatron inside two temples. In recent years, the artists and projects that we support extend well beyond Burning Man and as such, some of our artist clientele are not as starving anymore. The Everbright wall - a giant redux of the childhood LiteBrite toy - by Alan Rory of Hero Design is a shining example of what we do. See www.everbright.io for a project that we enabled with affordable technology that scales. Next steps include a move to NYC to pursue artistic uses of VR and further work with existing and new clientele alike.

"Le respect pour l’alimentation et les produits sains ont été le socle de mon éducation familiale"

Je suis né dans un environnement où l’amour, le respect pour l’alimentation et les produits sains ont été le socle de mon éducation familiale. Enfant déjà, je passais beaucoup de temps en cuisine avec ma mère, tandis que mon père, un pionnier de « l’agriculture BIO », commençait à me transmettre les valeurs liées à la nature.

Né en Suisse et ayant grandi en Italie, c’est à l’âge de 17 ans après avoir fini l’école professionnelle hôtelière que j’acquiers ma première expérience professionnelle au sein de l’Hôtel Danieli de Venise. Durant une année, j’ai eu l’opportunité de travailler et d’apprendre aux côtés du chef Augusto Borghese, me permettant ainsi de découvrir les couleurs d’une cuisine raffinée.

Mon dévouement sincère, mon sérieux au travail et ma passion, furent gratifiés par le directeur du Hyde Park Hôtel à Londres, qui ne tarda pas à me propose un poste de commis de cuisine.

Cette étape marque un tournant de ma vie où s’en suit une série d’expériences professionnelles au niveau international. C’est alors que j’ai pu consacrer mes connaissances et confirmer ma passion pour les différentes cultures et traditions liées à l’alimentation et les produits régionaux.

Mes chemins professionnels et humains ont été particulièrement marqués ces dernières années par de grandes rencontres: celle avec Carlo Petrini, créateur de « Slow Food » et « Terra Madre », et sa conception humaniste de la nourriture ; et celle avec Massimo Bottura, élu meilleur chef  et ayant le meilleur restaurant du monde.

Depuis 2010, nous vivons en famille avec ma femme et mes trois  enfants dans un village au pied de la montagne de Sainte Victoire dans la ville de Trets, où je dirige une petite école de cuisine gastronomique. L’éducation que je transmets à mes étudiants se base sur la création journalière de plats de la meilleure cuisine méditerranéenne, revisités selon les valeurs « humanistes » et les principes du bio et du développement durable.

C’est avec un immense honneur que j’ai rejoint le chef Alain Ducasse le 1er octobre 2015, pour devenir chef instructeur au sein de son école dans le 16e arrondissement de Paris.

En  2016 je participe à l'ouverture de l'école de cuisine mode d'emploi à Marseille de Thierry Marx  en m'occupant de ses cours de cuisine en tant que formateur chef de cuisine.

Debout 2017 je participe a la création du collective de l'Alliance Slow Food des Chefs en France avec des grands chefs étoilés : Michel Bras ,Xavier Hamon, Olivier Roellinger, etc...

As an executive private chef, I spend my week creating cuisine inspired by the seasonal harvest in the San Francisco Bay Area and Napa Valley wine region of Northern California. My daily goals focus on transforming organic meats, poultry, seafood, fruits, vegetables, and grains into pleasing meals for those who consume the work of my knives and my knowledge of fire. The sound of “yum” filling my ears is one of my greatest job rewards. Being a conduit that brings people together to share a meal is another. Sourcing the freshest and most sustainable ingredients and supporting the local economy of farmers, ranchers, fisherman and other specialty purveyors is always my priority. My cooking style is heavily influenced by my two years of full-time study at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in the Napa Valley AVA, California.

In recent years, Ruby has turned her attention to the study of psychotherapy and neuroscience, receiving her Master’s degree in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy from Oxford University. She is the author of the best-selling book Sane New World. Described as a guide to saner living, Ruby explains how our minds can jeopardize our sanity and that to break the cycle, we need to understand how our brains work, rewire our thinking and find calm in a frenetic world. Her show of the same name, combines neuroscience, mindfulness and comedy, helping audiences to become the masters, not the slaves of their minds. She presented her TedTalk at TedGlobal 2012 “What’s So Funny about Mental Illness?” and was recently awarded an OBE for services to mental health. Ruby latest book, “A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled” is an outrageously witty, smart and accessible guide for using mindfulness to combat stress.

Ironically - given I design structures that enclose people - I constantly seek the outdoors. I have an entrepreneurial spirit and too many balls in the air at once. I've finally stopped feeling bad about this. I also finally stopped expecting more than 4 hours of sleep a night. I've launched 4 companies, 2 in design and 2 in technology. I might have ADD but probably just need to do more yoga and meditation. Given I can't know for sure if there's any existence after this life, I'd hate to think I wasted this one -- I like to say yes to things, especially experiences. And I like people who make me laugh, think, dream and explore.

Everything you need to know about Kinnernet Europe

What is an Un-Conference?

Unconferences are unusual. There is no formal agenda, speeches or PowerPoint presentations. Instead everyone who is invited is expected to get involved.

Kinnernet Europe was framed after Tim O’Reilly’s famous Foo Camp. Foo Camp, an annual event hosted by O’Reilly Media, is described as “the wiki of conferences” because the attendees design and alter the program via big whiteboard schedules that allow for overwriting and rewriting. Foo Camp was intended to reach out to people who can enhance the company’s technological intelligence as well as open the door for opportunities and cross-fertilization between people, disciplines, etc.

What should I bring?

Kinnernet Europe will be casual, with any attire acceptable from hiking clothes to jeans. Many activities are outdoor, including workshops and meals. Avallon can get hot during the day (25-30 degrees Celcius) and colder at night (around 10-15 degrees Celcius). While the climate is very dry, attendees should prepare for fluctuating temperatures. Layers are strongly recommended.

Write your 140 character biography

Kinnernet Europe is attended by 200 people. The fastest way to get to know everyone before you even arrive is to complete your 140 character biography.

Suggest a discussion topic

We will have over 80+ discussions at Kinnernet Europe, and all of them will be suggested by you. Each discussion lasts about one hour. To suggest a discussion doesn’t mean you have to have the answer, you just need to lead the conversation. You can just send us your own idea.

See what else you can do at Kinnernet

Discussions are the heart and soul of Kinnernet Europe, but there are also cooking, Ignite talks, sport, health or meditation, games, music and artistic performances. Come prepared! You can read more and sign up for the activities here. Act fast! Ignite talks and Midnight Cooking Madness are always popular.
