The Ideas Festival, a five-day festival of ideas, innovation and invention at Brisbane's Cultural Centre, South Bank, is Queensland’s leading open public ideas event. It is open to all and mostly free. |
Established in 2001 to present ideas, promote public debate, and to foster and celebrate innovation the Festival is proudly presented by the Queensland Government as part of the Q150 celebrations, with Major Sponsor Griffith University.
|
Ideas covers a broad range covering five streams of IDEAS:
|
 | invention and innovation | |
development and design | |
ecology and ethics | |
action and advocacy | |
self and society |
|
It is about new ideas, old ideas in new manifestations and the exchange of ideas across sector, across industry, across generations and across the room.
|
Addressing what people want to know, don’t want to know, do and don’t know the Festival presents local, national and international speakers, alongside thinkers, doers, makers and passers-by.
The objectives of the Ideas Festival are to:
|
| Provide Queenslanders with access to and exposure to diverse ideas; | |
Present, celebrate and debate the quality ideas and inventive work of government, business, academia and community; | |
Promote Queensland locally, nationally and internationally as innovative, diverse and forward thinking. |
