Get ready for round two – the second edition of OuiShare Fest kicks off in Paris today, celebrating and discussing new models of consumption, the sharing economy and collaboration.

OuiShare is a global community that supports and promotes innovative and creative ideas and projects with a particular focus on initiatives that work towards a more collaborative society. The best projects and startups will be presented during the festival (running from today until Wednesday, 7 May) and recognised at the end as part of the OuiShare Awards 2014. Prior to the awards, nominees and festival attendees will spend three days exchanging ideas and helping to grow the movement towards new, collective forms of consumption.

It’s not too late to get involved! There are still a handful of tickets left for OuiShare Fest. Need more convincing? Check out how it all went down last year via the video below and get a crash course in collaborative and alternative models of consumption via our Knowledge articles on the Sharing Economy and Crowdfunding.
