Mind Shift is a single-day forum to challenge perceptions, experts and the obvious in a Q&A setting.

Each of the Q&A sessions will feature a panel of four industry experts from the tech, music and arts spheres. These sessions will put the audience on the front foot with interactive digital initiatives and a playfully-delivered verdict.

At present we have 4 topical sessions, each running for 50 minutes, plus 2 key note speakers along with some curious, cutting edge acts to lighten the mood. The winners of Hackagong competitions will present as well as the Modfab school 3D printing competition announced.

Mind Shift tackles some serious topics, but welcomes the sublime and quirky. These sessions are an integral part of the festival and our aim of this event is to help pollinate ideas throughout the community in the hope of building relationships and opening up opportunities for those attending.

Thanks to our partners IMB, Tom Thumb and University of Wollongong for making Mind Shift possible
