The FutureFest is Now

Six Days of Meaningful Engagement
09.24 >> 10.01
All Virtual

The Life Design Future Festival is a 6-day immersive experience that combines networking, professional development workshops, a career-fair style trade-show floor, and engaging speakers and concerts. Following two-days of alumni, employer, and educator led workshops (Thursday/Friday), the main festival will take place Monday through Thursday of the following week. Each day of the festival will consist of four virtual engagement arenas (“stages”) and three competitions (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday), each of which will be named for a JHU school or for a corporate / employer sponsor.
