memory
On the last Friday of each month young innovators, change-makers, entrepreneurs , and creative thinkers come together to hear leading industry professionals across the media, technology, social and creative sectors give 5 rapid fire talks.

A delicious breakfast and coffee will be served up until 8 by Newtown’s famous Black Star Pastry.

The doors to the Powerhouse Museum open at 7:45am sharp and attendees are shown into the transport Gallery where the event is held.

The event wraps up by 9am with attendees keen to continue conversation spilling out into the museum cafe and beyond.

It’s best to reserve your spot by booking a ticket through the Powerhouse Museum website as events do often sell out,
www.­powerhousemuseum­.­com/­bookings/­fastbreak.­php
or you can take a chance and pay at the door.

The 5 speakers will then speak for 5 minutes each, followed always by the chatter of networking and exchange of new ideas.

• The theme for September is Memory.

Memories both lead us back and push us forward, they provide us with a link to the past by reminding us of what has happened and giving us an indication of what could come. They often find their home in nostalgia, a yearning and remembrance of experiences and distinctive turning points in life.

The memory is the the capacity to retain ideas, thoughts and life stories. Memories are also the keys to progress, to learn from mistakes made and to never repeat history. Memories are a way of seeding out the bad from the good, deciphering what worked, what didn’t and how we grow from that experience.
