Festival is a winner for innovation

Next year’s WYNnovation festival will celebrate business, big thinking, creativity and inventiveness.

The annual festival, set to kick off in February, is a collaboration between Wyndham council and Victoria University.

WYNnovation offers businesses a chance to connect and network with other business people and learn from some of some of Australia’s most successful entrepreneurs, innovators and strategic thinkers.

The 2022 program has been designed for businesses of all sizes and industries.

Wyndham’s future focused economy portfolio holder, councillor Mia Shaw, said the COVID-19 pandemic has caused businesses in Wyndham to have “a challenging few years”.

“That’s why this year’s WYNnovation program is a fantastic opportunity for businesses with the program focussed on the future, moving forward, and being proactive,” Cr Shaw said.

“With practical tips and tools on innovation and business growth that will add value to their business.

“The WYNnovation 2022 program is not to be missed.

“The suite of events is sure to inspire and energise.”

A half-day masterclass will be held on February 11 at the Holiday Inn, Werribee with Shade Zahrai.

Ms Zahrai is an award-winning leadership strategist, Harvard-trained coach and member of the esteemed Forbes Coaches Council.

A summit all-day event on February 4 will include keynote speakers such as Naomi Simson, co-founder of Big Red Group (BRG) and the founder of RedBalloon.

Robot Pepper will also make an appearance.
