Forward Fest - #TeamMoretonBay Delegation

Over 5 days in late September there will be over 120 speakers focused on supporting business growth at FWD Fest on the Sunshine Coast - just up the road.

This is too good an opportunity to let pass! We (Innovate Moreton Bay and Moreton Bay Regional Council) have again teamed up, this time to jointly lead a #TeamMoretonBay delegation on Thursday 29th September to FWD Fest.

We are gathering expressions of interest to be part of this delegation and we hope you may be interested and/or available? The Thursday program will take a deep dive into 3D printing, FinTech, Investment, Manufacturing, Robotics, SaaS & Startup 101.

Details

  • Expressions of interest are now open and sought from business owners, innovators and intrapreneurs in the region who would like to attend Fwd Fest as part of the #TeamMoretonBay delegation
    • Submit your EOI HERE by midnight on Sunday 11 September
  • The cost to participants will be $75 per person, and is inclusive of:
    • Bus transit both to and from the event (departing North Lakes Sports Club at 7.50am)
    • Event entry
    • #TeamMoretonBay t-shirt and swag
    • Coordinated promotion of your business

  • The coordinated delegation is being funded by Moreton Bay Regional Council. Knowledge, innovation and entrepreneurship is one of the four pillars of the Regional Economic Development Strategy (REDS). The strategy will drive a bigger and bolder region and a brighter future for residents.

Be quick as places will fill on the bus, and if you are prepared to make your own way there on this day, this can also be accommodated.

About Forward Fest

Forward Fest focuses on three distinct themes: Innovation & Tech, Customer Experience & Marketing and Skills of the Future across 28 tracks (4 sessions per 28 tracks), explored through keynotes, panel discussions, interactive workshops, debates, demonstrates and social events. Aimed at transforming how small businesses operate, Forward Fest seeks to unlock the capacity of intrapreneurs - an innovator within an organisation who creates, develops, validates and delivers new product, service or process innovations through collaborations within the innovation ecosystem. Insight, learning and relationship outcomes will stimulate business innovation, increase business growth addressing economic recovery, and enhance employment opportunities across South East Queensland.
