    Hearing rumors that during my keynote on the main stage at @futurefest on Saturday, @nesta_uk started showing the England match on the screen in the hall that was there to show main stage talks. Can someone who was there pls confirm/deny? Unbelievably rude if true. #FutureFest18

        Hi Aral, we can confirm the football was displayed on the hub screen, as this was requested in advance by a number of delegates and speakers. We thought it was the best way of keeping people at the festival, so they could keep an eye on the score whilst enjoying the content.

        "We thought it was the best way of keeping people at the festival"? I really don't know how to reply/react to that, I'm quite in disbelief to be frank. Aral has all the rights to be angry and disappointed.

        We realize this wasn't ideal for speakers who were on at this time, but we didn't anticipate England making it this far when arranging the festival! So we made the best of the situation and tried to strike a balance. Thank you very much for participating.
