South Australia is set to host Australia’s only flagship technology, impact, and innovation festival, SOUTHSTART // ODYSSEY from March 7 to 10. The festival, which has been held annually in the state since 2013, is designed to bring together influential leaders, founders, innovators, and investors in a thematically curated program spread across various iconic South Australian destinations.

Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with the right content and people from the outset. SOUTHSTART // ODYSSEY has become a must-attend event for anyone interested in the latest technology, innovation, and impact. The festival will take place across a range of iconic South Australian venues, including The Garden of Unearthly Delights, The National Wine Centre, and Lake Breeze Winery in Langhorne Creek.

DON’T HAVE TIME FOR A MULTI-DAY EXPERIENCE? SINGLE-EVENT TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE!
We know it’s ‘Mad March’ in Adelaide, so we can totally see that it might be hard to commit to a bundle of events across the full week or perhaps taking the full week off work is off the cards…
This is where the individual event tickets will come in handy. Simply pick and choose where you want to go and you can purchase a ticket for the single event only. Easy peasy!
So that’s it folks, we hope this helped to break it down.
We are heading into a big final week before showtime and as we tie up the final loose ends to ensure the absolute best ODYSSEY is ahead of you all, we’re also here to let you know that …unless sold prior … ticket sales END THIS THURSDAY!
Check out the full event program HERE and now that you’ve got your head around the tickets, visit HERE to secure your place.
