Last year was really busy, and included the best Feral Vector we’ve ever run. A month ago, we announced just the dates for Feral Vector 2017, and in that month, have sold about 90% of the number of tickets we sold in total last year. Thank you all for your support. We’ve a feeling this is going to be another good one and, for now at least, Feral Vector has found a home in Hebden Bridge. Early tickets for FV2017 end today.
Photos of 2016 are on Flickr, with some highlights below. We’re also pleased to confirm some of our first speakers, doers, showers and all round great people for 2017. They include:
Katy Marshall
Alex Johansson
Thryn Henderson
Kat Brewster
Jerry Belich
Charlotte Gore
Humblegrove
Amran Anjum.

Don’t forget to get a ticket, early tickets end tonight. Some of our favourite 2016 photos are after the jump, or you can see them all on Flickr.
