Emergence Creative 2015 explores the notion of Connection through Creativity via transmedia storytelling and the collaboration between each of the creative industries to forge a stronger path and more meaningful messages.

The Festival turns the iconic Margaret River region into a Creative Playground, bringing together like-minded creatives from across the globe for a four day sensory overload.

Dubbed the ‘anti-conference’, Australia’s South West’s own idea’s fest is an influential celebration of creativity where ideas get off the ground.

Emergence Creative runs from Sunday 8th to Wednesday 11th March.
