During the conference, visitors can will be treated to food and drink from local chefs in the outdoor food court, while networking breakfasts and afternoon teas will be provided by Unity Kitchen, a social enterprise creating jobs and apprenticeships for people with disabilities.
The exhibition hall on the ground floor will play host to a varied collection of mini art exhibitions, virtual reality experiences, digital art installations and immersive installations from artists Will Vibes, Dan Witz, Tinsel Edwards, Maser, Colin McMaster, Jose Montemayor, Mr.Penfold and Robert Montgomery.>
