ABOUT HUNTER INNOVATION FESTIVAL

This year the Hunter Innovation Festival is all about FUTURE PROOFING THE HUNTER. But what does this mean you may ask…. Well we will be presenting four varied perspectives being provided from four awesome thinkers in this space.

This event is for Novocastrians, Innovators, thinkers, people interested in the festival and regular attendees of idea bombing events.

This event is part of the 2019 Hunter Innovation Festival.

What is Idea Bombing Newcastle?

Part of the larger Idea Bombing community, we seek to bring a uniquely Novocastrian flavour to creative exchange & making cool things happen. Part talk, part pop up bar, we bring people and ideas together. We curate a series of talks and ask the audience to contribute or ‘bomb’ their ideas on our idea wall. By sharing our collective ideas we aim to inspire a creative exchange for topics that matter to Newcastle.

ALL WELCOME! Please register your attendance HERE.
