Part summit, part festival, part awesome. WLG-X: A Festival of Creative Collisions is a whole different experience to anything New Zealand has seen before.
WLG-X inhabits the worlds of Tech, Design, Film, Musicand "the X" the place that sits at the intersection of these worlds...
...and when ideas meet at that intersection, we call it a 'Creative Collision'
OK, nice elevator pitch. Now explain?
We're grabbing everything that is tech, interactive, design, film, music, fun, games and good-times, blending it, putting it through a uniquely New Zealand filter then serving it up on a Wellington shaped plate (with a good, hoppy IPA)
The result is a five day programme of headline speakers, panels, workshops, gigs, film screenings, parties, events, interactions and a whole lot more. All of it revolving around the creative and innovative ideas that coming into and out of New Zealand.
ONE pass. FIVE days. Full immersion.
Buying your ticket here will reserve you a pass for the full five days of the festival.
The doors across all streams are open. You can explore, indulge your curiosity, seek out inspiration, connect with like-minded people and explore as much as you wish across everything the festival programme.
