NSW Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner has announced details of the 18-day Vivid Ideas program (25 May - 11 June 2012) consisting of creative industry and public events that will focus on creative ideas, discussion and collaboration.
Mr Stoner said: “Vivid Ideas will connect Australia’s creative industries with global leaders and emerging talent in over 100 events, more than double the creative industry events of previous years. These events will cover topics from electronic gaming, fashion, film, and design to publishing, architecture and photography.
As part of Vivid Ideas, the new Vivid Ideas Exchange will be located at the Museum of Contemporary Art, hosting an industry-curated program that will be the creative hub of Vivid Sydney where technology, art and commerce intersect.
Vivid Ideas Festival Director, Jess Scully said the Vivid Ideas program will build on the growth of three years of industry conferences and the public-facing Vivid Creative Sydney program.
“Vivid Ideas is a summit, forum and a playground for the creative industries to challenge and inspire ideas, and to connect our creators with the support networks and expert guidance that helps convert ideas into applied innovation,” she said.
