Sponsored: Far away from walls covered in butcher’s paper and post-it notes, the Pause Fest creative technology conference and festival is redefining creativity in the digital age with a focus on business transformation. For the last five years’ festival-goers have had a front row seat to the future and 2016 will be no different.
If you’ve ever had the thought ‘I don’t know how they pulled that off’ or ‘that’s too big to solve’ Pause Fest is an opportunity to refresh your thinking and learn from an inspiring range of industries and roles. With a theme of ‘discover your future self’, the core streams are structured like the ideal start-up with creative, tech and business.
As part of the business stream Telstra and Fjord will uncover how they’re driving digital transformation from the inside-out. User-centred design has been tried and tested, but what does a service-design approach look like? The Telstra transformation has defined this, starting with their employees.
In the technology stream, the Thoughtworks keynote will dissect how to combine an ideal mix of creative pursuits and hire not just for product success, but also personal success.
And the creative stream has a focus on the intersection between technology and creative. DT creative director Tim Devine teams up with DT solution architect Lindsay Lim to show how the agency has embraced collaboration across all roles and is leveraging OpenSource and OpenDesign communities.
Whole teams have been known to utilise Pause Fest as business development with a pulse because of its spirit of collaboration and experimentation. A lot of attendees walk away with more than notes. From startups finding funding to employees meeting future employers, Pause has become a spark that can lead to exceptional things.
Surrounding the conference are unique satellite events where speakers and attendees alike are encouraged to get out of their seats and be immersed in everything tech culture has to offer. The Pause team has carefully curated the entire experience (including free Melbourne coffee everyday!).
From the thrill of escape rooms and virtual reality gaming to masterclasses with the world’s best and getting up close with bleeding edge startups at the dedicated expo. Come and see why Pause Fest has become Asia Pacific’s premier creative and technology conference and kickstart your 2016.
