As spring turns to summer this year, Dublin will host some of the world’s finest minds working out some new ideas on how we can embrace the future. Expect talks, debates, conversations and workshops on subjects as diverse as architecture, politics, design, technology, history, art, fashion, energy, literature and music.

For one weekend (29 April - 1 May 201), Dublin, Ireland will be a supernova of creative thought, energy and innovation.

The MindField Festival Founders' Pass (€69 including a booking fee) offers full-priority free access to all ticketed events and workshops during MindField, as well as admission to the Festival Club in McGrattan's over the weekend.

Possibly more importantly, a portion of the ticket price will go into a fund to develop the festival in the coming years. Founders' Pass holders will literally become founding patrons and will be able to contribute programme ideas for future MindField festivals through a forum which will be set up on the website in the coming weeks.
