Ephemerisle is not an event. It's a distinct collection of independent groups referred to as "Islands".

Islands are independent and autonomous collection of one or more anchored boats, platforms, and/or whatever else floats that's the home of at least one person during the gathering. Generally they have a theme. In the past, Islands have been encouraged to experiment with their own governance systems. "Archipelagos" are an extension of the idea of an Island where different groups of boats join together into a larger collective.

if you're creating an island for the first time, the Packing List has a starting point for things you should bring. Every island is strongly encouraged to treat it's neighbors with respect and not doing anything (including anchoring too closely) which might put their neighbors in danger.
