Leading international creatives and digital gurus to head to the Margaret River wine region in Australia’s South-west for the inaugural Emergence Creative Festival in February 2013
Some of the world’s leading creative and digital professionals will be heading to Margaret River, in the South West of Western Australia to participate in the inaugural Emergence Creative Festival in February 2013.
From the 20th-22nd of February, creatives, entrepreneurs and techs from the advertising, communications, music, film, digital and design industries will take over the grounds of Leeuwin Estate vineyard in Margaret River. Here, they will listen to prominent international and local speakers as well as debate and showcase future directions in the creative, startup and investment industry space.
Keynote speakers for the event include Bill Tai (top left): leading venture capitalist and ‘kiteboarding king’ of Silicon Valley, Shane RJ Walter (bottom left): creative director, co-founder and CEO of onedotzero, a London based ‘digital creativity initiative’, Agnello Dias (bottom right): co-founder of Taproot Media Mumbai, one of India’s hottest independent agencies and Richard Bullock (top right): director at HungryMan Films.
Emergence Creative Chairman Mat Lewis said the event was a conference and festival with forward thinking vision, promoting creative living in a globally connected digital world.
“Emergence is an anti-conference, set outside the boardroom and amongst nature in vineyards, at the beach and in the forest,” Lewis said.
“There will be screening of some great creative work, collaborative sessions, beach breakfasts, live music, surf competitions and winery dinners all set in the stunning surroundings of the Margaret River wine region.”
With more than a dozen speakers already announced, the event is sure to be big for its opening year.
The South West Development Commission supports Emergence Creative with generous seed funding for its inaugural year. Registrations are now open. For more information visit www.emergencecreative.com or www.facebook.com/emergencecreative.
