Australia’s Biggest Unconference

WELCOME TO  S P A C E

s p a c e is where ideas meet influence. We are building a collective of unlike-minds with a passion for making the world a better place through action. We gather diverse sets of people to challenge points-of-view and unlock new insights on old perspectives. We don’t come together to agree on everything. We don’t meet to learn or network. We connect to get shit done. To move Australia forward at an exponential rate of change, powered by the most inspiring minds in the country.

LET'S BUILD BACK BETTER

Why are we doing this? Because 2020 has torn apart the world as we knew it. But, we must start flourishing in the shades of grey this year is throwing us. While our hearts go out to those who have been directly affected by the health and economic effects of 2020, we must start finding the silver linings. We cannot let the opportunities presented by a global reset go to waste. The ‘old normal’ was far from perfect. We now have a chance to build back better. We must find a better way of living. We must build back a more sustainable, more interesting, more inclusive, kinder world. Recognising the opportunities and finding the joy in uncertainty is a start.

LESS GETTING / MORE GIVING

What’s an unconference? An unconference is a participant-driven, ideas festival. It’s less one-way, on stage, keynote talks. More conversation, small group, participant led, workshops allowing all voices be heard. Your experience is designed by you. Enter with an open mind, be prepared to hold a stage, hold a room, or hold a conversation, and lean into the chaos of co-creating the themes and content with your fellow cadets. Days designed for accidental conversations blend into evenings filled with unexpected twists and turns (yes, even as a virtual experience). You’ll join with high expectations and leave with a new perspective.

Don’t join us if you’re looking to learn or network. Join us if you’re working towards something that will build a more ambitious Australia. Come to test your radical generosity by sharing your ideas and building genuine relationships with new collaborators you didn’t know you needed to know.

The more of yourself you give at s p a c e the more you’ll get out of it.

LESS LIKE-MINDED / MORE UNLIKE-MINDED

Who is this for? Every single Australian, or person passionate about Australia, who wants to play a part in building back a better world. Creatives, corporates, entrepreneurs, academics, psychologists, artists, teachers and beyond from a cross-section of Australian cultures and generations. We need the voices and actions of a diverse group of people like you, and unlike you, coming together to share their perspective on life, work, and the future through unexpected conversations.

From c-suite executives to rising stars, everyone is equal and is committed to ensuring every conversation is respectful, engaging, insightful, and prompts the cross-pollination of ideas.

s p a c e is for people who understand they don’t know everything about everything.

COME TO  S P A C E

If you can be yourself, not your job. If you are as generous with your big ideas as you are ambitious. If you’re walking the walk not just talking the talk. If you challenge the status quo while keeping an open mind to others’ differences.

Then you’re ready to join us.
