After four days of amazing speakers, guests and facilitators the Ideas Festival for 2011 has come to a close. All except for our encore event with Michael Cunningham on 26 May.

We’ve broken world records by introducing 1359 ballerinas into the State Library of Queensland. We’ve eaten with Maggie Beer and roasted with Rod Quantock. You have had your say on the soapbox and had your ideas interpretted in the Flood of Ideas exhibition. We learnt that happiness is really important to you with these sessions being by far the most popular in the program. Fringe Ideas proved to be confronting, provocative and side-splittingly funny, and the crew from Cheez TV kept the laughs rolling.

We discussed how to redesign business for women, explored the implications of immortality and ponder whether it was beneficial to society to hold our politicians to higher standards. Sessions were filmed, photos were taken and you will be able to re-live the whole experience over the coming week as we upload all the content we’ve gathered from the festival.

In the mean time, what stand out idea planted itself in your brain this week? How are you going to nuture it and make it grow? Was there a question that wasn’t resolved or something that you would like to discuss more? We want to hear all about your unique festival experience!
