Ouishare Fest

The first Ouishare Fest was launched in 2013 by our founding connectors, which brought together over 1,000 people from across the world to discuss the workings of the collaborative economy and beyond.
‍
One Ouishare Fest soon led to five in Paris, each gathering 1,500 entrepreneurs, free thinkers and activists striving to create a fairer, more open and resilient society through alternative models. Now, Ouishare Fest has become a hub for all those looking to escape their comfort zones and create unique collaborations that connect its attendees on a deep and authentic level.
‍
As part of our efforts to document our key learnings, we drafted a comprehensive guide on the organisation of such an event to support the Ouishare network.

This guide opened the doors for regional editions of Ouishare Fest around the world: Ouishare Fest Barcelona was held in 2015, 2016 and 2017, and Colaboramerica in Rio De Janeiro has gathered more than 6,000 people since its first edition in 2016.

But Ouishare's event adventures don't stop there: we have also launched eco-friendly innovation camps like POC21 that later inspired Eco2Fest in Montreal.
