Festival of Ideas Townsville

Festival of Ideas Townsville Bringing together members of the community, university, government departments, media and industry ex

Stay tuned for our 2018 event...

For innovation to flourish, communities must create an environment that fosters creativity and brings together diverse and multi-talented groups of people to work in close collaboration, exchanging knowledge, ideas and shaping the direction of the future. The Festival of Ideas presents this opportunity to collaborate and exchange knowledge, so that we as a city an

d region can determine our own future, and create the environment for our community to flourish, in spite of – or perhaps because of - our current challenges. Join us for a day-long event, made up of a symposium in the morning, concurrent masterclasses in the afternoon, and networking in the evening, to help Townsville:

- Value imagination and turn ideas into reality
- Create ideas by identifying patterns and defining new problems and solutions
- Create inclusive spaces where entrepreneurs, researchers, business, educators and people from all walks of life can collaborate
- Eliminate barriers to growth for micro and small-to-medium sized enterprises
- Build human capacity to boost economic sustainability and social mobility
