Now in it’s third year, Brisbane-based conference, Creative3 Forum, has returned with a speaker line-up drawn from varying business and creative fields.

The two-day forum includes keynote addresses, workshops and an investment pitching competition and works to “harness the power of three – creativity, investment and enterprise – to build a successful creative business.” This year it runs in conjunction with the Brisbane Festival to offer a selection of international artist collaborations.

Speakers include: Kevin Finn (TheSumOf); Ben Johnston (designer/director, Josephmark); Patrick van der Pijl (CEO, Business Models Inc.); Mitchell Davis (co-founder & CEA, Live Gamer, Inc.); Pip Jamieson (co-founder, The Loop); Jean Huang Lundgren; (head of video partnerships, GC & SEA, YouTube); Vince Frost (chairman and creative director, Frost*) and Vince Bannon (VP, entertainment partnerships and development, Getty Images).

If you’re interested in going along, early bird tickets are available until 30 August (and limited student tickets are available). The conference runs from 13 – 14 September 2012 at QUT Creative Industries Precinct in Brisbane.
