We've been giving you little glimpses of what we're planning for Hobart.

So we thought it was time to show you a little more of the shape of ELEVATE27.

Friday begins with where our stories come from. Tasmania. PSA. The stories and moments that have shaped us.

Saturday takes story into our work. Our craft. Our customers. Our expertise. Our speaking businesses. And then, of course, our Gala Dinner and PSA Awards.

Sunday turns towards the stories only you can tell. The memories and experiences we carry with us and how we might make them useful for the audiences we serve.

And if you're staying on, Monday is Distillation Monday — an optional post-Convention workshop designed to help turn everything you've heard, experienced and scribbled furiously into what you'll actually do next.

A little nod, of course, to Tasmania's rather excellent reputation for distilling things.

And if you can come early? We're planning an optional pre-Convention MONA experience on Thursday 11 March, travelling together on the Mona Roma.

So perhaps don't rush in and out of Hobart. Come early. Stay a little longer. There's plenty planned.

Here's a question worth sitting with: if someone described what you do in one sentence, would they understand exactly what you do? 🤔

At ELEVATE27, one of the four ways you'll be elevating is your story, sharpening your positioning, messaging and impact so your work speaks as clearly as you do.

This is for every speaker who's ever fumbled the "so what do you do" question (we've all been there), or felt like their bio doesn't quite capture what they bring to a stage.
