</b><b>*IFF 2017 Registration CLOSING: </b><b>Friday, February
3rd*<br>
</b></tt><tt><tt><tt>This year for the <i><b>first time</b></i>
we will be closing IFF registrations ahead of the festival </tt></tt></tt><tt><tt><tt><tt><tt><tt><tt><tt><tt>to
avoid exceeding capacity</tt></tt></tt>.</tt></tt></tt>
</tt></tt></tt><tt><tt><tt><tt><tt><tt>If you have not yet done
so already,</tt></tt></tt><tt><tt><tt> <b>p</b></tt></tt></tt><b>lease
register by this</b> <b>Friday, February 3rd</b> to secure
your spot at the IFF!<br>
<br>
</tt></tt></tt><tt>As of this week, we've gotten over <b>1,200
</b>registrations for the 2017 IFF - a new record by a longshot -
which means that for the first time, we are likely to max out the
capacity of Las Naves, the festival venue in Valencia. <br>

*Announcing the New IFF Visual Identity & More for 2017*<br>
</b>This year the IFF will be offering some <b>awesome new
additions</b> to its program and design - including <b>Help
Desks</b>, more time for <b>self-organized sessions</b>, a host
of fantastic <b>side events</b>, and more. However, we're also
implementing the biggest image change for the Internet Freedom
Festival since its inception in 2015 - the launch of our <b>brand
new visual identity.</b><b><br>
</b><br>
To get the full update on what's new for the 2017 IFF, and for a
preview of the new logo and branding, we've published an article
on Medium with all the details:<br>

</tt><br>
<tt>All these improvements and new additions are the product of the
work of many organizations and individuals around the world. Just
3 years later since the first IFF, all of you have taken it to the
next level — adapted it, evolved, hacked it, and made it yours - <b>while
constantly inspiring us to find ways to improve.</b> Thank you
everybody!<br>
