'''Kinnernet''' is a series of invitation-only [[unconference]] events formed by entrepreneurs, technologists, startup founders, scientists, media professionals, and creatives. |

Much of what is discussed later becomes a topic at the Marker, a two day Internet business conference in [[Tel Aviv]]. |

Kinnernet takes the form of an invitation-only "geek camp", modelling itself on Tim O'Reilly's [[Foo Camp]]. Kinnernet aims to provide like-minded individuals the opportunity to gather informally and discuss topics of mutual interest. |
|||
Described as "a wild out of the box, irreverent, bottom-up innovation, creativity and cultural unconference", the event gathers each year 100-200 innovators working in the media, art, technology or creative industries, with the mission to: "''meet, share our visions and invent desirable futures together''".<ref>[http://www.kinnernet-europe.com/ Kinnernet Europe]</ref> |
|||
The festival mixes in depth conversations, debates, workshops, but also creative and artistic moments. All participants are equal and contributors and set up the programme by posting the topics on their minds on large wiki-boards. The Festival aims to create and develop each year innovative and contributive projects. |

Forbes described it as follows: "''Take the ‘no speakers or topics’ mantra to the extreme and you have the unconference [...] Gather an invitation-only list of fantastic people, give them an empty dry erase board with meeting times and locations and let the magic happen.''"<ref>{{cite web |last1=Wolcott |first1=Robert C. |title=Most Panels Suck: Burning Man, Unconferences And Generating Real Value From Events |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwolcott/2018/09/01/most-panels-suck-burning-man-unconferences-and-generating-real-value-from-events/ |website=Forbes |language=en}}</ref> |

The Festival aims to create and develop each year innovative and contributive projects.
