Newkind Conference 2024

Newkind Social Change Conference is an annual event held since 2017, that brings people from all walks of life together to celebrate humanity, foster a sense of community and empower participants to engage in positive social action.

This year the conference will be held from Saturday 2nd to Tuesday 5th of November on Dja Dja Wurrung Country, in Redbank, Victoria, and over 4 days we will learn, grow, challenge, question and inspire through a diverse range of workshops, discussion panels, a multicultural program of arts and entertainment as well as networking and knowledge sharing opportunities.

The program includes sessions on gender equality, economic justice, environmental action, race equity, human rights, regenerative agriculture, mental health and a whole lot more. This year, the overarching theme is Rest, Repair, Redesign, and we will use this lens to inspire both collective care and repair, as well and a revitalised drive to think outside of the box about social change, peace and prosperity.

Launched in 2016, the Newkind name quickly become known for its pioneering spirit and drive to contribute to social change and the betterment of the world. From leading event sustainability practice, to implementing consent training well ahead of the curve, creating a drug and alcohol free family space, providing meals included in registration cost, no charge First Nations tickets and of course the event programming; Newkind has always been a leader in ethical, equitable and environmentally responsible event design. 

The purpose of Newkind Social Change Conference is to bring together people from all walks of life to discuss the interconnectedness of our planet’s social, environmental and economic issues. Through a carefully curated program, the event seeks to inspire holistic solutions to complex challenges by synthesizing diverse perspectives and fostering cross-pollination and collaboration.
