WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD OF WORK!

Covid-19 has dramatically changed the way we work. Workplace Wellness Festival has also adapted to the new paradigm and has rapidly established itself as Australia’s big online festival of all things workplace health and wellness. Now into its 3rd year, no other event matches Workplace Wellness Festival’s profile, breadth of content and sheer audience size.

7,000+ Attendees | 170+ Speakers | 8 Conference Tracks | Virtual Expo | Networking

Workplace Wellness Festival brings together over 100 expert speakers from Australia and overseas; the industry’s top vendors; and thousands of business professionals – all virtually on our state-of-the-art platform!

The event features eight conference tracks that allow attendees to take in the big-picture in the Plenary Hall or deep-dive into key topics of interest in concurrent conference tracks.

The festival will run from 08:45 – 17:00 AEST on both Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23 June 2021. Plus, on Monday 21 June 2021 you can login to the event platform for a day of networking and exploring the virtual expo. It's a great time to familiarise yourself with the platform before the festival commences.
