Night Nomads.

The Night Nomads exist to facilitate bold, daring and sometimes uncomfortable conversations around the way in which digital technology is changing our lives... for better or for worse.

Each event brings together a lineup of outstanding digital legends who have a free license to engage, provoke and challenge us to think differently about our digital futures.

Straying from a normal business event format, the Night Nomads are a rare opportunity to tackle three modern digital dilemmas and their impact on society. How do we consciously design a positive digital future for us and our kids?
