Parallel Society 2026
[counter cultural convergence]
A next-generation gathering. A merging of [un]conference and underground rave.
Rooted in internet culture, we bring together hackers and ravers, visionaries and radicals, to build a new cultural imagination.
Collectively organised. Co-curated. Immersive. Human-first. Not-for-profit.
A temporary autonomous zone where music, art, and technology converge.
Remix society with us.
day 1: [un]conference
A fluidly structured gathering of cutting-edge projects at the convergence of technology, open-source code, digital freedom, and hacktivist culture.
Our coalition members curate their own zones autonomously around the ideas they believe in, from decentralisation and open-source software to digital privacy and human governance.
No panels. No keynotes. No big stages… Just people building together around common values.
day 2: cultural convergence
A cross-cultural composition of sounds, stories, and expression.
Weaving ideas, performance, and people together with creative workshops.
Featuring global acts, DJs, local artists, and activists alongside immersive installations, visuals, and projections.
No agenda, no directive. Attendees move to sessions they find interesting and leave those they don’t.
Road to PS
With support from our coalition and allied communities, we’ll be hosting intimate cultural events and activations throughout the year as we warm up for PS. Expect music across the world.
Contribute
PS is a unique, bottom-up event – a celebration of collaboration and co-curation to expand and strengthen our coalition.
