Future Anything National Grand Final 2024
TUESDAY 19 NOVEMBER | 5PM – 8.45PM AEST
THE TRIFFID (BRISBANE) AND LIVE ONLINE
Support school-age entrepreneurs from across Australia as they bend the future, one youth-led idea at a time.
Future Anything transforms young people’s passion and curiosity into innovative ideas that make the world a better place.
In 2024, 75+ schools across Australian and NZ have built enterprising mindsets in their classrooms, challenging their students to create innovative, sustainable and scalable solutions to the problem THEY care about through our award-winning Activate program.
Join us as teams go head-to-head to win the support to launch their ideas into the real world in the National Grand Final 2024. There’ll be live pitches, a panel of expert judges, showcase expo and a live People’s Vote. We’ll also unveil the winners of this year’s Future Anything Educator Awards and welcome 2024’s inductees to the Future Anything Hall of Fame.
Attend in person at The Triffid in Brisbane or watch online live from anywhere in the world! Venue seats are strictly limited, so register NOW to secure your free ticket.
