Tropical Innovation Festival

The Tropical Innovation Festival is a week-long innovation festival with a difference… and while it may sound cliche to say that there is something for everyone – the “choose your own adventure” style program, it’s true! The dedicated networking events have contributed to last year’s attendees rating the event as 4.73/5 on average with 100% of survey respondents agreeing that they were glad they came. The festival takes place at the Novotel Oasis Resort in Cairns, Queensland, featuring an exclusive innovation event on a dive boat at the Great Barrier Reef. In June, it will be warm in Cairns with lower humidity – meaning #TIF2026 is the perfect time to visit the region if you’re an entrepreneur, innovator, investor or looking to infuse innovation into your business or organisation. Entry Cost Adult $0 - Platinum, Gold and Silver Festival passes available across the whole week. Single event tickets available closer to the event.
