Talk

Talks and ideas that examine the unexpected foundations of our rapidly changing future.
Humanity has never been more connected or more capable, yet decades of stability are dissolving into a future of ecological and geopolitical turmoil. Chart the path ahead with conversations touching on what happens when an Australian passport doesn't protect you, the wild west of cryptocurrencies and our true crime obsession. It’ll take a week – at least!
Join the critics, the thinkers, the movers and the shakers for a series of talks and ideas that will challenge you to think courageously about how we shape our future, and about how we might grapple with the next unprecedented crisis waiting just around the corner.
