About The Outlook
The Outlook is a conference and events organisation based in Melbourne, Australia.
We produce immersive, curated experiences that bring Australian creatives, innovators, and leaders together to discuss, connect, and learn.
We’re optimistic about the future and can’t wait for what’s next.
Our principles and promise
We place significant emphasis on creating content that is immersive and deeply engaging for our audience, that is refreshingly optimistic. It provides solutions to problems and never admires them.
Broad
We broaden horizons: we focus on broad design discussions across disciplines and take a wide perspective.
Diverse
We embrace the whole spectrum: we are diverse across gender, race, age, sexual orientation, physical abilities, skills, experience, and equity.
Different
We’re forging a new path: we push the boundaries of what it means to exist as a design conference and always opt for the stranger of two choices.
Manifesto
Oh, the world is moving fast.
But the future isn’t a destination—it’s the outcome of our decisions.
The steps we take today define the path we tread tomorrow.
What truly matters?
Will we pursue growth for its own sake,
or will we create a world that puts humanity and planet at its heart?
We hold an optimistic outlook for the future
and embrace our role in shaping it.
We envision a tomorrow fuelled by creativity and innovation,
where technology and the humanities unite.
Where connection and collaboration thrive.
Through dialogue, learning, and connection,
we bring people together to imagine what’s next.
Because the future is ours to create,
and with wonder, we’re always looking forward.
Industry curators
Our Industry Curators play a vital role in creating the incredible experiences that we deliver.
This includes the festival, conference, workshops, awards, and other streams we deliver.
They work collaboratively with other Industry Curators, the Advisory Board, the Community panel, and volunteers to deliver impactful and successful events that are measured by their excellence.
