SPEAKERS

We’re currently featuring our 2025 speaker line-up, while we finalise the new list for 2026.

Stay tuned for the big reveal in January.

This past course brought together an impressive mix of local and international creative leaders: top ECDs, CCOs and CDs from major hubs like New York, Amsterdam, and right here in Australia. They shared real-world insights to help emerging talent navigate the evolving art of creativity.

Our 2025 content tackled the cutting edge — from creative AI and innovation to behaviour change, stereotyping and the latest industry shifts. It gave students the tools, fresh ideas and inspiration they need to thrive in the fast-moving world of commercial creativity.

2026 speakers will be announced soon.
