Program

At the heart of Something Digital is a program designed to help you navigate what’s happening now and what’s coming next.

Across two days, you’ll hear from global thinkers, local innovators and industry leaders exploring the technologies, ideas and tensions reshaping how we work, create, lead and build.

From AI and emerging technology to culture, capability and digital transformation, the program is designed to challenge assumptions, spark new thinking and provide practical insights you can take back to your organisation.

Four spectacular stages

The Something Digital program is designed to take you on a journey.

At The Tiv, you’ll experience the big, thought-provoking conversations shaping what comes next. At Rydges, the focus turns to the tools, strategies and skills you can apply in your organisation. And at Jubilee, our masterclasses offer hands-on sessions to help you go deeper and put ideas into practice.

Move between stages and shape your own path, from big ideas through to real-world application.

Thought Leadership Stage

The Tivoli is where the big conversations happen.

Across two days, the stage brings together bold perspectives, challenging ideas and the tensions shaping the future of digital, leadership, creativity and society.

Expect keynotes, panels and fast-paced riff sessions designed to provoke debate, challenge assumptions and push conversations further.

Tools and Skills Stage

The dedicated Tools & Skills Stage at Rydges focuses on practical capability building.

Designed for professionals navigating rapid change, sessions will explore the tools, workflows and strategies helping teams work smarter, adapt faster and deliver meaningful outcomes.

Founders and Funders Stage

Running at The Jubilee, the Founders and Funders stage is a dedicated space for the conversations that matter most when you’re building and backing innovative businesses.

Across four themed blocks, the program brings together founders, investors, customers and ecosystem leaders to explore the realities of raising capital, winning customers, sharing hard-earned lessons and shaping what’s next for Queensland’s innovation community.

Masterclasses

Just down the road at The Jubilee Hotel, our 40-minute masterclasses offer a more intimate, hands-on learning experience, capped at just 25 participants per session.

Built around practical “How To” themes, these sessions are designed to deliver some of the most tangible and actionable takeaways across the festival.
