The Equator Symposium is an international forum intended as an arena for the meeting of experts, theorists, practitioners and researchers from various disciplines.

The Equator Symposium 2014 attempts to reveal the ecosystems within groups of many people (artists groups, hobby-based communities, business groups, etc.) in the organisation of their places (whether in the city, village, neighbourhood, state or between all of these). Examining encounters, both physical and virtual, and how these encounters are then disseminated to more people, is the first step in our efforts to reveal the ecosystems of these groups.
