AFTER DARK: West Tech Fest Edn.
'A Storytelling Event: The Hard Thing About Building Hard Businesses'
When the main stage lights dim, some of the most fascinating conversations are just beginning.
AFTER DARK brings together the tech founders and builders in the spaces not often discussed - the taboo, the sub-culture, and the wild frontiers.
No corporate polish. No sanitised pitches. Just raw, honest lightning talks about the hard truths of building hard things in provocative industries.
This is where innovation meets candor, and in this special Western Australia edition, where the unfiltered stories of bold builders finally get their moment.
The official program can't go here. But we can.
