Pause Fest 2019 is just around the corner, and with tickets selling fast, it’s time to find out what to expect from one of the industry’s biggest events.

The festival, which takes place in Melbourne from the 6-8 of February, will host talent from Atlassian, Google, Amazon, CERN, YouTube, Discovery Inc, Cloudflare, JWT, InVision, and Airbnb alongside 200 local heroes and innovators and will be held in none other than Melbourne’s iconic Federation Square.

The festival, themed ‘Intimate Future’, is a blend of creativity and business, and will tackles the concept of human interaction with technology and how it’s challenging our social fabric and the possible consequences of this future.

The sessions will centre on the theme of intimacy; from human to technology and everything in between.

These are just a glimpse of some of the informative, challenging, and more than anything, intimate sessions:

Speaking on the festival, Pause Fest founder George Hedon said: “We live in a world where anything is possible. The digital revolution has sparked the new gold rush, where entrepreneurs have the ability to rewrite how we live.

“All you need is an internet connection and a phone to access tools that are more powerful than those that put a man on the moon.”

“Australia is known as ‘the lucky country’ – globally envied as one of the most liveable places in the world. So, why are we moving slower than the rest of the world when it comes to innovation?

“Pause Fest is on a mission to help Australia think big and think global, and I am proud to say we have been doing this now for nine years.”

Tickets are now on sale with a new ticketing experience, available now to the public in partnership with Universe, a Live Nation company.
