=== About MozFest ===
== About MozFest ==


MozFest is dedicated to forging the future of the open Web and our theme this year is 'AI'. Artificial intelligence might bring to mind futuristic tech, like superhuman robots or devious computer systems. But algorithms that make decisions for us are embedded in emerging and familiar technologies today, from search engines and social networks to facial recognition and self-driving cars. At MozFest 2019, we’ll explore how machines are making decisions for us now, and what AI advances are on the horizon. Together we’ll brainstorm ways to bring more social responsibility, ethics, and user agency to AI... today, and in the future.

We have two printing companies to recommend this year.


The first is for more generic printing, so anything from posters to vinyls to stickers. [https://aspectpress.co.uk/ Aspect Press] are amazing to work with and they are a local company based just down the road from Ravensbourne. If you want anything professionally printed contact Marc Walsh and he'll do the necessary introductions.

If you require extra large or rigid printing we'd recommend you use [https://www.pixartprinting.co.uk/?CMP=acquisition18_p_NC&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIktmr2t2C5AIVhLTtCh3HdwScEAAYASAAEgJh5fD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Pixart Printing]. They are a European printing company, but are extremely cheap for anything printed on cardboard, fomex, wood or aluminum. Make sure you leave plenty of time of delivery as even with a next day service, as they are delivering from mainland Europe it can be subject to delays.
