Connect Beyond Festival is a movement that brings creators and attendees together to engage in thought provoking ways. Lauded as “Asheville’s version of SXSW” (Ashvegas) Connect Beyond Festival is perfect for those who are looking for a more dynamic festival experience - one that prioritizes exploration and participation just as much as entertainment. If you’re looking to broaden your horizons, to engage with others, and want to leave a festival with more than just a hangover, Connect Beyond Festival is just the place to be.
Featuring: CUTTING-EDGE MUSIC CONVERSATIONS & PERFORMANCES, INSPIRING SPEAKERS, THOUGHT-PROVOKING PANELS, CAPTIVATING FILMS & DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKERS, COMMUNITY + CONNECTION, and so much more.
