Sunrise Australia 25

Sunrise is Blackbird’s love letter to founders and the wild, beautiful things they create. It’s where big ideas meet resistance, ambition meets reality, and friction sparks transformation.

It’s not a business conference. It’s not just a tech event. It’s a cultural celebration – a festival of creativity, technology, and the tension that drives real progress. At Sunrise, you can immerse yourself in our startup community, become part of it, and help shape what’s next.

What to expect at Sunrise

• Be inspired – Across three stages, hear stories of triumph and failure, witness bold visions of the future, and experience creativity at its most daring.

• Meet your people – Find your next co-founder, investor, mentor, or friend. Sunrise is built for connection – whether through serendipitous chats or our AI-powered event app.

• Learn something new – Discover fresh tools, frameworks, and mindsets to supercharge your journey. Get practical, tactical insights you can use the very next day.

This year, we’re diving deep into the theme of friction – the force that ignites change.

Expect provocative debates, challenging conversations, and ideas that will shake up your thinking.

See you there, travellers.
