SPEAKERS

This year we’re proud to announce a stellar lineup of local and international speakers who’ll share their insights with students as part of this year’s course.

An ensemble of top ECDs, CCOs and CDs from renowned creative hubs, New York and Amsterdam, will join Australia’s creative leaders to help upskill emerging talent in the evolving art of creativity.
