Founder and innovator Mik Jade has taken huge risks on her mission to use the best technologies to protect and share Indigenous Knowledge.

A Cabrogal woman of the Dharug-speaking nation, she leads with a community-first approach, building towards a better together world and using technology in innovative ways to do so.

Having addressed the UN and made The Australian’s 100 Top Innovators list, she’ll talk to us about turning Songlines into holograms, bringing Country to those who can’t make the journey, and making one of the largest murals in Australia through a community’s use of machine learning.

Hear comedian Tori Crisp’s wonder at the opportunities and possibilities out there if you’re willing to take the risk and pursue what you believe in.
