The idea of the \u201cPay What It&#8217;s Worth Ticket\u201d is partly about making the festival accessible to everyone and partly an experiment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe full ticket price after July 9<sup>th<\/sup> will be \u00a399 \u2013 which is still incredibly inexpensive for a week of events \u2013 but we know that many people will simply want to come for a day or two and this is the perfect way for them to judge what that&#8217;s worth to them. We also want to make sure that anyone, no matter what their budget, can come and get involved in the festival.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The festival, now in its second year, is the largest digital media and technology event in Northern Ireland and expects to attract an estimated 1500 conference delegates and a total audience of some 30,000 across the week.<\/p>\n<p>Elements of the programme already announced include the main conference on Wednesday, September 11<sup>th<\/sup>, the Belfast Media Festival, the DANI Awards at St. Columb\u2019s Hall and a 3-day video games tournament and expo.
