The program

DAY ONE

THE SCHOOL OF COOL – Presented by Volcom

Friday August 26, 2016

On Day One we presented the Volcom School of Cool; a panel of 8 undeniably cool girls carving out undeniably cool creative careers. We asked them how they have achieved what so many seek, and what they have done to define their own distinct individuality in a global creative environment that is more interconnected than ever before.
It was pretty awesome, and fun.

DAY TWO

THE FUTURE OF CREATIVE CONTENT

Saturday August 27, 2016

Day Two presented the Future of Creative Content – an annual reboot of what is going on globally with content and creativity. We asked our panel of boundary breakers from design, photography, fashion, music, technology, commerce, print, digital and social media to “take a look around the creative content corner and tell us what’s happening next”.

And just like Day One, Day Two was also pretty awesome, and fun.

Staying In Sydney?

We were thrilled to have The Old Clare Hotel as our official hotel partner for CURVY 2016. Our great speakers were lucky enough to stay on-site at the former Carlton & United Brewery administration and former County Clare pub. Stretching across two iconic heritage-listed buildings, the 62-room boutique hotel has been constructed with obsessive attention to aesthetics and concern for retaining the interesting features of both buildings. Thanks once again to The Old Clare Hotel – great to have you on board again in 2017!
