“Attendees are guaranteed a series of hugely insightful sessions and worthwhile opinions from some of the best creative thinkers here and abroad, and we’re super proud that the interstate community can now be part of the experience.”

“This year’s festival schedule packs a punch, so check it out online and book your tickets. We look forward to you joining us for three exciting days of discussion, debate and immersion in the power of creativity,” he said.
