Get ready to be inspired and challenged by local people changing the world around them with their unique ideas, creations and impact activities.

The day will be broken into four sessions of roughly 1 hour. Food and drink during the event is included in your General Admission ticket.

VIP ticket holders will receive a voucher to redeem a barista made hot beverage at the start of the event only, from 9:00 am.
