[Festival] Wednesday, March 8: Important Updates!!!

[IFF Team]

**

**Dear**Amics :)* *

*

**

Two days in and already the love, glitter and knowledge is being shared
throughout!! So many collaborations being born! AND thank you for being
so incredibly patient as we work out some kinks!**Here are some **very
important updates**, as well as a list of the sessions taking place
tomorrow: ***NEW ROOM**: Many of you have said that having the Gallery
divided in two rooms was not working. As a result, we will be moving ALL
sessions that are taking place in “Gallery Back” to the “NEW ROOM.” The
New Room, located right after La Factoria, is one of the four glass
bridges.


* Please check the schedule *daily* as some changes may take place.


* Just a reminder that the self-organized sessions are only listed on
the wiki here:
