Melbourne Knowledge

Week Melbourne Knowledge Week is taking place from Monday, October 19 until Sunday, October 25.

It is a multi-format festival that is dedicated to the latest trends, ideas and innovations of the knowledge sector.

There will be a host of workshops, classes and events during the week that like-minded thinkers, entrepreneurs and industry professionals can enjoy.

Melbourne Knowledge Week will focus on five categories, including innovation and technology, design and urban planning, community learning, health and medical and creative culture.

Knowledge Week is designed to promote and strengthen Melbourne’s knowledge sector.

It might be a brainy event, but the variety of events on offer sound intriguing (and plenty of them are free!).
