The industry is in the final stages of preparations for this year’s Dive In festival, which will be held virtually for the first time since its launch in 2015 because of the pandemic.

This year’s festival theme, “Local Voice, Global Impact”, aims to highlight the pivotal role local voices play in fostering changes across the world.
