Just because things have always been done one way, doesn't mean it's the only way. Innovation is the future and UnConvention will take you there. Attendees will be introduced to the unconventional ways in which people are acting to fix some big issues. The weekend will  bring you riveting speakers, networking opportunities, and skills sessions to put some radical schemes into action. It's about transforming your unconventional ideas into real ones that you can act on.

When is it? The Unconvention runs from Saturday December 10th (8.30am to 6.30pm) to Sunday December 11th (from 9.30am to 3pm).  You're also invited to the UnConvention Ball, on Sunday the 11th of December, from 7.30 to 10.30pm.

Where is it? The Tasmanian School of Art, on Hunter Street.

How much is it? $50 for the two days of the UnConvention, and $10 for the UnConvention Ball (Ball tickets are otherwise $20 at the door).

Join the UnConvention and you'll hear from speakers such as:

Jess Jacobson - The founding State Director of the Tasmanian branch of The Oaktree Foundation. Jess has since moved on to become the General Manager of Overseas Projects for Oaktree, while also supporting a school and orphanage in India.

Maddi Charles - A 23 year old University student and long time environmental and human rights activist Maddi is currently the youngest Greens candidate, running for the seat of Alderman, Hobart City Council.
