Survive and Thrive 2013
The smart thinking event for artists, creators, innovators and entrepreneurs.
Overview
Thrive & Survive is back with a great line-up of industry leaders and forward thinkers to inspire and prepare you for the future. Thrive & Survive 2013 features a mix of world-class speakers, practical workshops, networking, one-on-one mentoring, and independent sessions led by leading professionals. The event has grown from one day to two, which means more to see and do.
Friday's hands on workshops are divided into four strands—Going Global, Site Pacific, For a Better World and Resilience Rules—which you can follow, or pick and mix a day that matters most to you.
Site Pacific - Paora Joseph, Harry Silver, Kim Newall, Grace Taylor and Nick Gerritsen talk about how we stand in relation to the past, how that shapes our personal and professional identities and how that influences the way we face the future.
Going Global – with Mike Mizrahi, Luca Van Brandenburg and Rebecca Mills. How have different creative entrepreneurs successfully developed opportunities for their products and services outside their cultural comfort zone? With Asia on New Zealand’s doorstep, there’s a growing interest across the creative economy to reach out and engage new audiences and customers over there.
For a Better World - Join positive agitators Cate McQuillen, Richard Reid, Jerome Partington and Vivian Hutchinson talking about ‘a Better World'. When we accept that a critical collapse in our environment and economy is no longer in the future, but is unfolding here and now, it is positive agitators we must call on to shift us into new ways of being.
Resilience Rules - Join Alex Hillman, Jo Randerson, David McGregor and Charlie McDermott as they explore the addage - change IS constant (and often unpredictable) and how the creative community can respond to global crises and make a unique contribution to building humanity’s collective resilience.
Saturday is all about Provoking Open Participation or ‘POP’. Share sessions led by industry organisations kick things off, followed by POP: Action. POP: Action is an open source programme led by Dr Ralph Kerle, where the audience provides the content by sharing knowledge and exchanging ideas with other thinkers, makers and doers.
Thrive & Survive is the smart thinking event for artists, creators, innovators and entrepreneurs. One thing's for sure, those that go are those in the know so do yourself a favour and get a ticket today.
