A NOTE FROM OUR FTWEEKEND EDITOR

Thank you so much to those who were able to join us live for the Festival. I hope you enjoyed the sessions. We certainly have. To those of you just joining all sessions are available to watch on demand.

There were so many highlights. I thought the interviews with Reid Hoffman and Evan Spiegel were utterly compelling - and so timely given that week's news on the markets. We have had some incredibly powerful conversations with poets and novelists. The conversation with Natasha Trethewey was deeply moving.

Then there has been the home team. Robin Lane Fox giving us a tour of New College gardens, Oxford in one of several electrifying films. And I should not forget of course the crazy fun stuff from cocktail masterclasses to our very own Jancis Robinson hosting, yes, a wine-tasting.

We really look forward to hearing your thoughts on this our first digital festival. At this time of great change it is very inspiring to launch a new venture that helps to connect us and give a little sparkle to our lives. One reader wrote that the attitude and humour of the festival gave her hope for the future.

Here's to that.

Alec Russell, FTWeekend editor
