This year’s virtual Wavelengths Conference was a resounding success, with incredible participation from our panelists, moderators, and attendees! We were so grateful to gather as a community for these discussions and celebrations, despite the screen fatigue we have all been feeling this past year.

As part of our commitment to making globalFEST programs as accessible as possible, we are thrilled to share this year’s main panels, in their entirety, with you:
