title: "Goodbye from Electromagnetic Field 2024" | ||
--- | ||
|
||
|
||
Hello, | ||
|
||
<br>This was the best EMF so far. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. | ||
|
||
It would not have been possible without all the wonderful volunteers, speakers, installation-builders, performers, sponsors - and all of you! | ||
|
||
Many thanks from the EMF team for making the festival feel like such a special place to be. | ||
|
||
<br>There's a few things to wrap up before we hibernate for a year: | ||
|
||

||
## Infection Survey | ||
|
||
If you became ill at EMF or shortly after (with COVID or anything else) please let us know by filling in our [infection survey](https://cloud.orga.emfcamp.org/apps/forms/s/gykaxpDTWXbRc6t8LMNBc382). | ||
|
||
This allows us to keep track of any illnesses contracted during the festival and informs our health policy at future events. | ||
|
||
## Lost property | ||
|
||
If you think you lost something at EMF please [contact us now](mailto:[email protected]?subject=Lost property) - we had 114 items handed in, so there's a good chance we have your beloved thing. | ||
|
||
Any unclaimed items will be donated to charity at the end of the year. | ||
|
||
## Memories & photos | ||
|
||
It's impossible to see everything at EMF, so please share your [photographs and videos](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdqvJG9loGOWH9uEQEGvq5PfDZE0YYt4xsu8hjgpAhMKvZ0PQ/viewform) with us, as well as [blog posts, articles, and anything else](https://wiki.emfcamp.org/2024/wiki/Memories) that documents your time in the field. | ||
|
||
If you post anything on social media please tag it with #emf2024 and @ us on [mastodon](https://social.emfcamp.org/@emf) or [twitter](https://twitter.com/emfcamp) so we don't miss it! | ||
|
||
## Feedback | ||
|
||
We love your feedback, both good and bad! [Let us know](https://cloud.orga.emfcamp.org/apps/forms/s/wr2iRdTAPi4j6fSt9CGNN2iq) what you loved and what you'd like to see improved in the future. | ||
|
||
You don't have to have a potential solution but please keep feedback constructive. We can't guarantee it'll be fixed, but we will listen and take your feedback into account where possible. | ||
|
||
## Diversity | ||
|
||
We really care about making EMF an inclusive and welcoming event, and we want to continue to expand our community. To this end, just before the festival we published [our first diversity blog](https://blog.emfcamp.org/2024/05/30/diversity-at-emf-2024/) which includes statistics on speaker diversity at EMF 2024 and our plans for the future. | ||
|
||
We'll be publishing these statistics for every future event to track our progress, and we will be publishing statistics for our previous events if the data is available. | ||
|
||
Please make sure you've completed our [2024 diversity form](https://www.emfcamp.org/account/details) - give it a quick look even if you've already filled it in as we've added some new questions. | ||
|
||
## Talk videos | ||
|
||
We will be publishing recordings of every recorded talk over the next few weeks on [media.ccc.de](https://media.ccc.de/c/emf2024) and [our youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@ElectromagneticField). | ||
|
||
Please be patient - it takes a lot of work to edit so many great talks! If you spoke and allowed us to record it, we will let you know when your talk has been published. | ||
|
||
## Tildagon & Hexpansions | ||
|
||
We've seen a lot of people having fun with their [Tildagon badges](https://tildagon.badge.emfcamp.org/) and are absolutely delighted by the number of people creating [Hexpansions](https://tildagon.badge.emfcamp.org/hexpansions/creating-hexpansions/) to plug into it - we are aware of over 60! | ||
|
||
The badge team have been busy working on [the documentation](https://tildagon.badge.emfcamp.org/) and have substantially improved the software with features & fixes being added every week, so please make sure you [update the firmware](https://tildagon.badge.emfcamp.org/using-the-badge/flash-the-badge/) on your badge. We'll be working on it continuously over the next two years. | ||
|
||
If you're inspired to make your own Hexpansion, [PCBWay](https://www.pcbway.com/) have kindly provided us with $50 vouchers for their prototyping service. To claim one, [send us a short description](mailto:[email protected]?subject=PCBWay) of your Hexpansion idea. | ||
|
||
## Fabric | ||
|
||
If you loved the EMF 2024 theme, why not make a pair of pyjamas or a fashionable jacket covered in it? The designer is organising a bulk order of fabrics printed with the tiling "network" design you saw all over the festival. | ||
|
||
**Orders for fabric must be placed by the end of Tuesday 25th June 2024** in [Morag's shop](https://moraghickman.myshopify.com/). | ||
|
||
## Reuse your SIM card | ||
|
||
If you bought a SIM card from the shop to use with our on-site phone network please don't throw it away - you can use it again at other events, or reprogram it at home! | ||
|
||
Email the ICCID (the number on the front) to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]?subject=SIM unlock) and we will send you the key to reprogram your SIM. | ||
|
||
## EMF 2026 | ||
|
||
EMF will return in 2026. **You must be [subscribed to our mailing list](https://www.emfcamp.org/about/contact) to be notified when it is announced.** | ||
|
||
If you spoke, volunteered, installed, or in some way contributed to EMF 2024 you are **guaranteed tickets for EMF 2026** when they go on sale. If you're worried that we might not have a record of you volunteering please [let us know](mailto:[email protected]?subject=Volunteering ticket). | ||
|
||
**EMF is run entirely by volunteers and we need your help** to make it happen. We'll be having a rest for the next few months and serious planning for 2026 will start next year. | ||
|
||
However this year went so well that the team are excited, energised, and scheming is already occurring - **if you'd like to get involved and make EMF even better please [get in touch](mailto:[email protected]?subject=2026 Volunteering)** or sign up to our [volunteer mailing list](https://www.emfcamp.org/about/volunteering). We'd love to have you on the team. | ||
