For our inaugural Up Late event we’re diving deep into the social purse to ask the question on all our lips – where has all our money gone? – with special guests Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Hernan Diaz; sustainable fashion expert Clare Press; and writer and poet Dan Hogan. With host Linda Bull, they'll investigate what it truly means to lead a lucrative life and dissect the culture of capitalism that equates happiness with financial success, setting us all up to fail. Featuring soapbox monologues, a priceless appearance by award-winning performer Simone Page Jones, and an enlightening audience-led Q+A, don’t miss the chance to stay Up Late with us for Spring Fling and experience an evening that will enrich your mind and expand your horizons.
Spring Fling returned in 2023, and this year we went Above and Beyond. We looked further, delved deeper, and asked bigger questions with outstanding thinkers who are reshaping our world and envisioning extraordinary futures.
Spring Fling is supported by the Victorian State Government.
