Silicon Coast and Gympie Regional Council have teamed up to bring a taste of FWD>>> Fest to Gympie.

If you have an entrepreneurial mindset, are curious about what’s possible with technology and AI, or are already building something, this afternoon is for you!

Technology is reshaping how businesses operate, how problems are solved and how communities plan for the future.

What opportunities does this create for YOU and for regional Australia?

🎤 PREDICTING GYMPIE'S FUTURE

Hear from Bradley Rasmussen CEO of Forecaz, who is using data, insight and innovation to help governments and utilities plan smarter, more liveable cities.

Explore how emerging technology is being applied to real-world problems and what this means for the future of regional communities.

You’ll also hear from local founders, connect with other entrepreneurial minds and get a glimpse into the ideas, technologies and opportunities that could shape business in 2027 and beyond.

Come and get a taste of the FWD>>> Fest experience right here in Gympie.

This event is designed to help connect the people who are already building with the people who are ready to start.

And it’s about putting Gympie’s entrepreneurial community in the room.

Join us for an afternoon designed for people who think differently, spot opportunities and want to build what’s next.
