About the Festival.

Designed from the ground up as a hybrid festival, this year, Something Digital will run both In-Person and Online.

The In-Person activations will run in multiple venues across Brisbane, enabling our digital community to meet, engage and collaborate. 

The Online experience will run via our virtual hub. Curated content will be streamed live and sessions will be interactive. You will also have networking tools allowing you to connect virtually with the other Something Digital attendees + partners.

An outstanding speaker lineup.

We've searched high and low for some of the greatest thought leaders, mischief makers and digital legends to join us in creating Something Digital for Queensland!

Our lineup currently includes 5 international speakers + 71 local and interstate legends (with more to come) including:

For 2020, the curated program has been extended to three full days giving us the opportunity to dive deeper into those aspects of digital innovation that are critical in our post pandemic digital world. The content will focus on 3 key streams:  

Leveraging digital innovation to enable organisations to gain operational efficiencies, increase ROI and improve customer experiences.

Navigating the power and implications of the technologies powering our digital world.

Strengthening the human element which is driving all our digital innovations - starting with ourselves, our employees, our customers and our communities.

2020 Theme. A BRAVE new world.

2020 will forever go down in history as ’that year’. The year when the world as we knew it came tumbling down. When we dealt with bushfires, pandemics, political instability and ongoing uncertainty but rose through it with a renewed sense of what it means to be human to be together.

In adversity lies opportunity. Opportunities to do things that we might have not necessarily done in a ’normal’ world. To take risks. To grow in ways we never thought possible.

2020 is giving us the freedom to be rebels in a BRAVE new world.

A world which is more reliant on digital innovation today, than it was six months ago. 

From digital acceleration to workforce augmentation; social innovation to data accessibility; digital manufacturing to supply chain reinvention - there are solutions, efficiencies and returns for everyone to thrive on.

The call is to end this year with a bang. To hold onto our rebel status and thrive in a BRAVE new world. To amplify our digital capabilities and to celebrate the incredible people that make up Queensland’s digital ecosystem.

It’s 2020. Things are a little bit different. 

Join us as a partner.

We are inviting leading organisations who value digital innovation to help us shape Something Digital in 2020.

We are always keen to find new ways to create mischief with our finest and brightest!
