IMPORTANT VENUE UPDATE
Due to unforeseen circumstances, our original venue cancelled on us, at the last moment. Weβve had to make a quick pivot to a smaller, private venue to keep the event runningβand to ensure everyoneβs safety.
Β

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.
Β
ACTION REQUIRED β Secure Your Seat
Because of the reduced capacity at the new venue, weβre prioritising Paid Ticket holders for guaranteed seating.
If you havenβt yet upgraded, to a paid ticket and would like to,we highly encourage you to do so now to secure your spot:Β

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.Β

There is also platinum and vip tickets available, with platinum tickets including photos with some speakers.Β

There will be some allocation of free ticket holders to get a seat, but these may be limited.Β All paid tickets will be guaranteed a ticket.Β
