Curiocity Brisbane returns to spark imagination, invention and innovation in 2020 Curiocity Brisbane will again challenge and inspire visitors of all ages in 2020 following its trailblazing debut in March 2019. A celebration of creativity, innovation, science, technology and art, Curiocity Brisbane returns to the city, bigger and bolder, from 20 March to 5 April 2020. Over three weeks, Curiocity Brisbane will deliver a program of immersive, interactive and multi-sensory experiences as along with the world-leading QODE technology and innovation festival (24 – 25 March), and globally-renowned events World Science Festival Brisbane (25 – 29 March) and the thought provoking and celebratory WOW (Women of the World) Australia 2020 (2 – 5 April), plus two special QAGOMA Water Up Late events (20 – 21 March). More than 325,000 people attended the inaugural Curiocity Brisbane events, boosting Queensland’s reputation as a world leader in science, technology, innovation and the arts. The return of this flagship creative platform has been made possible by significant funding and a close collaboration between the Queensland Government, through Tourism and Events Queensland, and Brisbane City Council, through Brisbane Marketing. Innovation Minister Kate Jones said Curiocity Brisbane would continue to build on the successful 2019 inaugural event. “We invest in events because we know they drive visitation and support local jobs,” Ms Jones said. “We developed this brand-new concept in 2019 to spark visitors’ curiosity and create buzz in Brisbane through the exploration of new innovative technologies and interactive artwork. “Cultural tourism is booming globally. Events like this help to build up Queensland’s reputation globally as a haven for arts and culture.
