SOFTER Softer Digital Futures is a series of gatherings exploring technology and new media from a feminist perspective. The conference is designed to reimagine the way we approach technology and its impact on our world. In contrast to the hard and fast-paced tech conferences that glorify relentless innovation and the promise that tech will save us, Softer Digital Futures is a space of care, thoughtfulness, and empathy. This is the softest tech conference the world has ever seen, where we prioritise the human and environmental aspects of our digital futures.
