About the Event

August 23 - August 25

Will your skills have any value in the future?

The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs report states that by the mid-2020s, more than one-third of the skills we currently consider crucial for today’s jobs will have changed.

This means that as we head into the Fourth Industrial Revolution, freelancers, traditional workers, and those looking at self-employment, must stay ahead of the curve by adopting new skills, embracing change, and adapting to novel ways of working.

To help you navigate this rapidly changing employment landscape, the theme for this year’s festival is The Future of Work.

Our program includes:

• High-profile speakers
• Panel discussions
• Workshops
• Physical/Mental/Emotional wellbeing for freelancers
• Finances and contracts
• Online security
And while the festival is underway, you will have the opportunity to:
• network with a diverse range of media professionals and creative artists
• engage with successful small business operators
• learn entrepreneurial skills from Australia's top freelancers
• dine at one of Launceston's s best restaurants

The future of work consists of learning a living ~ Marshall McLuhan
