What’s On

Our inaugural program is here - 14 events across 9 cities, and countless individuals who said ‘yes’ to the invitation to get involved.

We hope you are inspired by the offering. It is civic generosity in action.

This first year is an experiment.  It is imperfect and that is fine. We want to 'be the change we hope to see'.  And we want to build community and momentum.

Our Creative Bureaucracy Festival Hub for Australia and New Zealand is voluntary and unfunded. It wouldn’t exist without all the people who organised the events listed below – who did so because they are interested in these ideas and want to contribute. Thank you!

All events are in-person, most are free and some involve a small fee. Find more information and book tickets via the links below.

Most sessions have limited availability, so book now!
