Speakers included Ms Hornagold (Darumbal Community Youth Service); Geoff Clarke (Chameleon Australia); Jan Crowley (Home Support Association); Kaylene Butler (Kima Consultant); Jo Wooler (Mojo Creations); Bronwyn Fenech (FM Studios); Professor Happell (CQUniversity Australia); and Ian Higgins (educator & chaplain).  Moniqua Lowth (musician & student) performed during the break.

Professor Happell's presentation focused on whether people have a 'job' or a 'career', and whether they are following the path of others or leaving their own trail.

Ms Hornagold discussed how creativity can make us stop and think, and how it sometimes unfolds. Our creativity can spread so others equally become inspired and creative.

A range of interested people came along including members of the CQUniversity community, Professor Bronwyn Fredericks, Pro  Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous Engagement), and School of Management & Marketing Dean Professor Roger March.
