Know. Now. Next.

Know. Now. Next.

Melbourne Knowledge Week 2017 focuses on the theme “Know. Now. Next.” – taking what we know, acting now and preparing for the future.

The brightest local and international minds will come together for one week to lead discussions on shaping our city’s evolution.

This year’s hub is the State Library, but you can learn, interact and create with innovative thinkers at over 70 events all around the CBD.

Proudly presented by GiveGet, Six Ways To Change The World is a choose-your-own-adventure style workshop focused on economic, social, political and technological system designs.

Hear from leaders across the “future thought” sector before picking which workshop inspires you the most to tackle key challenges of the 21st century.

Six Ways To Change The World will be held on Monday, May 1 from 11am - 2.15pm. Tickets are by donation, head to the Melbourne Knowledge Week website for more details.

Join the conversation at Co-design Symposium – a skill-sharing event on all things co-design, design thinking and human centred-design on Thursday, May 4 from 10am - 4pm.

The workshop will generate discussion on how to “strengthen the value and promise of co-design in a time of declining public trust".

Co-design Symposium will be held at the State Library Victoria Conference Centre. Tickets are $88 and can be purchased online at www.mkw.melbourne.vic.gov.au/
