15th - 18th July

We’re back — what have we missed?

A lot has changed since we last saw you in 2018. There have been devastating bushfires, a global pandemic, American uprisings, and geopolitical power shifts. But then again a lot has stayed the same, feeding a groundswell of protests and grassroots movements on a scale we haven't seen in years.

Big problems require big ideas and inspired thinking. Join us over four days in July to pick through the maelstrom of our present moment, and see what some of Australia’s sharpest minds bring to the table.
