• One idea: keep your message focused.

• Three minutes: that’s your full time on stage.

• 1–12 slides: at least one slide, no more than twelve.

• Maximum 100 characters per slide: including spaces.

• Pictures are your best friends: use images to bring your idea to life.

You don’t need to squeeze your entire story into three minutes. Help us understand your idea, why it matters and what it could make possible.

A breakthrough. An experiment. A better way of doing something. A lesson from something that didn’t go to plan. A question that could change how we see the future.

You might be a founder, researcher, student, maker, creative or someone solving a problem in your workplace or community. You don’t need to be a seasoned speaker. You do need an idea you care about and a willingness to share it.

In the spirit of the festival, bring something others can learn from. Keep the focus on ideas, discoveries and possibilities, and leave the sales pitch behind.

Tell us what you’d like to share and what you hope people will take away. You don’t need a finished slide deck to submit your idea.

We’ll review submissions and contact selected speakers with their allocated session time and presentation details.
