III Points is like that fat person on the plane next to you. Even though it only bought one ticket, it's taking up the whole row.
However, in this case, that's a good thing.
"I think we're committed to
And this year's III Points Activation schedule — which was just released yesterday — proves that the three-day festival is doing more than ever to expand its reach. With events ranging from 3D printing workshops to a bounce house with Otto Von Schirach, if you can't find something that interests you in the more than 50 III Points-sponsored events taking place over the weekend, our condolences. You don't need a ticket to indulge in this year's III Points experience (though you should probably get one).
