FWD>>>FEST 26 VENUES
THE WHARF
The Wharf is a vibrant waterfront precinct where culture, creativity, and community come together. Home to an ever‑evolving mix of performance spaces, event venues, and gathering spots, it’s a place designed for connection, conversation, and big ideas. This year, FWD>FEST will take over three of The Wharf’s venues on day one.
ALTITUDE NINE
Altitude Nine is a contemporary, elevated venue designed for big ideas and bold conversations. With sweeping views of the Sunshine Coast and a refined, modern atmosphere, it provides the perfect setting for focused connection and forward momentum. For FWD>FEST 26, Altitude Nine will play host to FWD> DAY TWO.
THE SURF CLUB MOOLOOLABA
Located on the edge of the Pacific Ocean at Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast, The Surf Club Mooloolaba takes advantage of its beachfront position and has retained the essence of what has endearingly become known as ‘Australian beach culture’, relaxed, casual and fun. The Surf Club will be the venue for FWD>WELCOME
SALTY SPACES
Salty Spaces brings together entrepreneurs, creatives and growing businesses in an inspiring environment that fuels both productivity and wellbeing. With a focus on connection, flexibility and modern work-life balance, Salty Spaces is more than just a coworking space -it’s a hub for innovation, collaboration and growth.
