Forward Fest is a five-day festival that connects 1500+ world-class researchers, government, NFP’s, small business owners, intrapreneurs and higher degree students through networking and learning.
Hosted by Silicon Coast, the event will focus on three distinct themes: Innovation & Tech, Customer Experience & Marketing and Skills of the Future across 29 tracks explored through keynotes, panel discussions, interactive workshops, debates, demonstrates and social events.
Aimed at transforming how small businesses operate, Forward Fest seeks to unlock the capacity of intrapreneurs; an innovator within an organisation who creates, develops, validates and delivers new product, service or process innovations through collaborations within the innovation ecosystem.
Insight, learning and relationship outcomes will stimulate business innovation, increase business growth addressing economic recovery and enhance employment opportunities across South East Queensland.
