We are most excited to present the Big Idea, a showcase of innovative projects from creatives across the industry. From dozens of submissions, we have hand-selected 6 bright ideas from changemakers in the sector to be presented LIVE. Attendees both online and in-person will then have the opportunity to vote on their favourite big idea, with the winner being announced in the closing speech at the conference. 

To finish, join us for a celebratory drinks reception to network and reflect on the day.
