The crew on stage. A question from the audience. Two people leaning over a laptop. A conversation that keeps going after the last session.
The photographs follow Futureproof Festival across October 28–30, 2026, from opening night at the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre through the gathering at Friends Quarters. The delivered collection holds 1,829 photographs. Our festival gallery brings together 167 selected highlights, with descriptions, photographer credits and downloads.
Opening night: arriving together
The opening-night photographs move between the welcome, the auditorium, performances and the people working behind the scenes. The small details belong here too: books, bags, shared tables and the work of getting a room ready.

Day 2: ideas in action
Talks and audience questions share the frame with robotics, electronic instruments and people trying things together. The conversations continue over lunch and between sessions. The gallery includes 48 highlights from October 29.

Day 3: the people who made it
The final program day adds the opening welcome, stage conversations, book signing, filmmaking, music, questions and closing remarks. It ends with the crew gathered on stage and a last round of portraits. Our 48 selections include the audience as well as the stage.
