What does it really take for an idea to survive inside an organisation?

This event takes you from that first spark through the twists of transformation and growth, to the moment an idea truly takes off.

Nine speakers from across the creative industries, HR, marketing, branding, innovation, and leadership will each dive into a different stage in the life of an idea, sharing insights, hard-earned lessons, and real stories from the inside.

Whether you're leading a team, building a brand, or pitching a new direction, you'll leave with practical inspiration – and plenty to talk about over drinks.

What can you expect?

• A cross-disciplinary view of how ideas are nurtured, challenged, and realized within real organizational settings
• Lessons on navigating internal politics, selling ideas, and collaborating across functions
• Insight into the human, cultural, and structural forces that shape innovation outcomes
• New connections with professionals who straddle creativity, leadership, and execution
