The New Media Underground Festival (NMUF) is an '
underground'
festival which centers around general
web design and
Macromedia Flash. It was created as an alternative to Flash Forward, which usually cost upwards of $700us for a
ticket to attend.
The first
NMUF was held in London, alongside
Flash Forward and was a huge success (people had to be turned away at the door it was so packed). It was held at a local
pub and had a selection of
guest speakers.
The second NMUF was held in
San Francisco - the attendance wasn't as great as
London, but it was still considered a huge success.
Origionally NMUF was named Dreamless New Media Underground Festival, after the website where the idea was convieved and used to organize the event (http://www.dreamless.org). It has since created it's own
website located at http://www.nmuf.org. While still maintaining a tight connection with
dreamless, it looks as though it will take on a life of it's own in the
future and become an
independant entity.
Future locations for NMUFs include:
