The Children of Doom Festival was, as far as I understand, conceived inspired by the idea of Doomsday. In today's society there are so many threats to humanity, that it seemed important to discuss the possibility of human extinction from a more scientific perspective. The festival gathered a series of speakers that discussed themes ranging from water conservation, all the way to Artificial Intelligence dominating the universe. Moreover, the festival brought combined art and workshops on sustainability, resilience and survival.
