REMIX 2016

Overview

If you even started to nod silently to any of those questions, then you will have a ridiculously good time at the REMIX Sydney 2016 conference — a maelstrom of keynotes, panels, masterclasses and mixers centred at the nexus of creativity, technology and entrepreneurship.

Your mates Concrete Playground will be there too, introducing you to Sydney's most successful new entrepreneurs — the businesses we couldn't write fast enough about — with a special curated session on 'How Long Does It Take to Become an Overnight Success?' featuring Kristen Francis (festival founder and director of Wine Island, winner of CP's Best New Event of 2015), Georgia van Tiel and Carla McMillan (co-founders of citywide gym class pass Bodypass, winner of CP's Best New Product of 2015) and Michael Chiem (co-founder of Sydney's first ever soda factory bar PS40).

You'll have the frontal lobe equivalent of a food baby after this summit. Best get ready to digest.
