Established in 2012, the Fringe World Congress is a unique platform which brings together organisations who manage fringe festivals around the globe to share ideas and experiences, and build future collaborations. The biennial Fringe World Congress, comprising a diverse programme of panel discussions and networking events, allows fringe organisers to discuss their respective operations and identify ways of working together, strengthening the fringe community and improving fringe festivals across the globe.
The 2018 Fringe World Congress will take place during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Hosted by the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, it will take place 16 - 20 August 2018.
