IMPORTANT VENUE UPDATE
Due to unforeseen circumstances, our original venue cancelled on us, at the last moment. Weโve had to make a quick pivot to a smaller, private venue to keep the event runningโand to ensure everyoneโs safety.
ย

For security reasons, the exact venue address will be released on Friday afternoon by email and sms and on this website. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding.
ย
ACTION REQUIRED โ Secure Your Seat
Because of the reduced capacity at the new venue, weโre prioritising Paid Ticket holders for guaranteed seating.
If you havenโt yet upgraded, to a paid ticket and would like to,we highly encourage you to do so now to secure your spot:ย

ย
Unfortunately the new venue only holds 300, not 1600.
To guarantee a seat we are releasing several hundred paid tickets for day passes, from $75 or the entire event from $199.
Free ticket holders may have to be standing room only for some sessions, or wait to some attendees leave a session to get a seat. Our apologies.ย
ย
There is also platinum and vip tickets available, with platinum tickets including photos with some speakers.ย
ย
There will be some allocation of free ticket holders to get a seat, but these may be limited.ย All paid tickets will be guaranteed a ticket.ย
ย
We apologize for such inconvenience.
ย
Also, everyone gets a free livestream ticket for the event as well. Claim more for your friends.ย
ย
Your support means the world to us. These are the moments that define our collective stand for freedom of speech, independent journalism, and truth.
ย
Thank you for standing with usโand for your grace and support as we navigate this last-minute change.
