Purpose 2018

Join the festival, which celebrates individuals and organisations devoted to social good and making the world a better place.

The two-day program features keynotes, hands-on workshops, social events and creative sessions drawing on the expertise of professionals from Australia, the United States and Europe leading the charge towards a transformed economy, more meaningful work and a better world.

This year's line-up includes: Paul Hawken, a US environmentalist whose book has been described by Bill Clinton as one of the most important in the world today, Rachel Botsman—the author of ‘Who Can We Trust?' who predicted the rise of sharing economy companies such as Airbnb and Uber, long before they became popular and Dr Matthew Beard, moral philosopher and fellow at The Ethics Centre, who will discuss about how to design technology that doesn't destroy humanity.
