Today, 40 million active users across 195 countries now transfer one billion files every month. It is WeTransfer’s mission to enable the effortless transfer of ideas from one creative mind to many.

While most festivals amassed large audiences, the group found that any meaningful intimacy, time for collaboration, and connection to the festival’s environments were often left to the wayside. The founders envisioned something more personal and collaborative than the average music festival. An application-only festival, a diverse community of creators is empowered to participate in FORM by choosing participants for their creativity, thoughtfulness and intention. The program includes performances, discussions, workshops, installations, technologies and activities that celebrate creativity.
