FWD>FEST is a multi-day business festival for entrepreneurs and innovators and their support system.

FWD>FEST originated in 2022 when the team from Silicon Coast, based on the Sunshine Coast Queensland, dreamed of providing a platform for their world of entrepreneurs, innovators and supporters to come together and collaborate in an environment of support. For four years this dream has been a reality connecting thousands.

FWD>FEST creates a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs and innovators to meet on the beautiful Sunshine Coast and fast track their journey by connecting with others who also think differently, believe in creating something of value, and are prepared to ride the wave of highs and lows that invariably come with the territory.
