CHALLENGE
After redefining the standard for SXSW Sydney’s Discovery Stage in its inaugural year, INVNT was invited back with one core challenge: how do you outdo the extraordinary?

INSIGHT
To raise the bar, INVNT took full creative and strategic ownership of the Discovery Stage — curating a bold, future-focused program of 40 sessions, featuring 100+ speakers over four dynamic days. Anchored in the theme ‘Tech & Innovation: Shaping the Future of Humanity’, the lineup spanned disciplines and industries.

We further extended the experience beyond the stage through an 18-episode podcast series led by Scott Cullather, INVNT’s Chairman and Chief Growth Office, featuring partners including Spotify, General Motors, and SAP.

IDEA
The Discovery Stage — a live, living lab of possibility. Designed and produced end-to-end by INVNT, the space became a cultural and intellectual playground where the world’s boldest thinkers and creatives challenged norms and imagined new frontiers across AI, art, design, music, fashion, sustainability, and more. A standout destination at the SXSW Sydney Tech & Innovation Expo, it wasn’t just a stage — it was a movement.
