REMIX Sydney 2015

Overview

Do you sweat good ideas through the day? Do you have the a major game-changer on some napkin tucked into your pocket? Or have you the savvy eyes to spot fantastic innovation before the mainstream? If you even started to nod silently to any of those questions, then you will have a ridiculously good time at the REMIX Sydney 2015 conference — a maelstrom of keynotes, panels, masterclasses and mixers centred at the nexus of creativity, technology and entrepreneurship.

The REMIX Sydney schedule is silly with inspiring sessions across many platforms, but there are some clear themes stretched across the program.

One is how digital communications evolve live entertainment and communal experiences, possibly answering the question "how can we all hug when we have a device in both hands?". Google Creative Labs' Tom Uglow and Intel's Dr Genevieve Bell will both posit a few suggestions to this in their keynote speeches, as will reps from The Festivalists, Giant Dwarf and Gelato Messina at Concrete Playground's own curated session on 'The Art and Science of Fun'.

Communities and crowds are also reshaped on the global level, with sessions such as 'Nurturing Creative Capitals', breaking boundaries between arts and audience in 'The Museum of the Future', and actively growing digital communities instead of scoring viral hits in 'Beyond Hype'.

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