I wouldn't mind seeing a partnership with TED...
Guess it will be May-July? Unless they are going to move around some of their other festivals?
Flower & Garden - March-May
Food & Wine - Sept-Nov
Holidays Around The World - Nov-Jan
The summer doesn't "need" a festival for attendance, so that would rule out August...
Maybe move Flower & Garden to February-April, then "Technology" from May-July?
Then they can have festivals all year round! (apart from the January-February)

I wish I could, because it would cut down on the arguments, but I can't. It's real but that's about as far as I can go.
I don't know about TED, but Google is in the mix.

Hmm, interesting! Though I wish that these places partnering for it would back a new ride or something instead. I mean what with Innovations and stuff technology is kind of a big theme at Epcot.
Thanks for the input, I guess that January/February need an attendance boost more than May/June?

Yes, January is usually slow...as is early February before Presidents Week chaos begins.
A TechFest , ay..?
Swell. EPCOT is the perfect spot for it.

Yeah, that's my thought. Jan/Feb would be the next most logical time to do such a thing. After that, I would think late Aug/Sept (F&W typically starts the last week in Sept IIRC).
Anyway a Tech festival in Future World is actually a pretty cool idea and might help to bring back the long lost "Future" of that area. We'll see how the execution goes.

Wow! I saw this thread title and was prepared to post how I thought the critics are right after all! (I know some of you do not believe that).
But I have always thought that something should be happening year round at Epcot that is out of the ordinary. And this seems to fit the bill perfectly.
Very happy about this!
I might even have to visit!

If it does come in May, my grandma will be super sad to not see F & G Festival next year. I really think this could be exciting

This is gonna be so slick next to shiny new Test Track and Mission: Space. I feel like things are finally going in the right direction. I might not have my Rhine River cruise, but I feel like things are finally on the right track...

Seeing that the Flower and Garden has ramped up its food and beverage component, I am now fully expecting the Android Dessert Bar.
