GibTalks is styled on the very successful TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) series of talks, and will see a range of local speakers deliver 15 minute talks on a broad spectrum of subjects with the aim of focusing on the anecdotal, the personal, and the light-hearted as opposed to heavy-going academics and agendas.

Minister for youth, sport and housing Steven Linares
GSD MP Damon Bossino
Francesca Makey
