XOXO is an experimental festival celebrating independently produced art and technology.
We’re bringin’ the love back.
Festival
This year, we’re expanding our fringe lineup into a full-blown festival — four days of things to do, watch, play, eat and drink in venues around Portland.
-
Unmarket
Taking creative projects from the Internet to the real world.
-
Arcade
Play multiplayer videogames with their creators.
-
Music
A genre-bending evening of live music from indie artists.
-
Film
Screenings of indie films and shorts with director Q&As.
-
Tabletop
Compete at card and board games with their designers.
And we’re just getting started. Stay tuned.
Conference
The heart of XOXO — two days of talks from independent creators using the Internet to do what they love, and the geeks building the tools that make it possible.
