Something Fest 2024

26 August - 30 August

Each year, the Something Fest theme acts as a central pillar for all our programs, unifying sessions across the days and different stages.

In 2024 this continues as we explore how we can use digital innovation to Empower Every Human.

Empower Every Human.

Every individual has the power to participate in and shape the future. Humans at the forefront of every innovative breakthrough.

As a collective we need to break down barriers, foster diversity and nurture a culture where every human is equipped to innovate, create, and contribute to enhance the lives of all people.

This year Something Fest will explore how we can leverage innovation to amplify the voices and enrich the lives of the beautiful people within our community.

People over pixels. Empathy before algorithms. Heart over hardware.
