PRESS OFFICE

Welcome to the Media Centre, where you can contact our communications team for media enquiries, press images, and interview requests.
The bold claim is that this festival changes lives. This is true. The chance meetings, conservations, sessions, launches, dinners, drinks and chats all add up to an experience far in excess of the sum of its parts. Back on home turf, my head is turned towards wider horizons.
Stephen Brook, The Sydney Morning Herald
