Freedom in Expression

Last but by no means least, our closing night sees four more world-class speakers (responsible for brilliant & influential work) take to the stage to share with us their thoughts on Freedom in Expression. Creative director and provocateur Richard Turley, RISOTTO Studio founder Gabriella Marcella, PLAYDATE’s Arisa Sudangnoi and Artist/joker Mr Bingo will ensure we finish on a laughter-induced high at The Crossing in Digbeth.

Gabriella Marcella, Designer and Founder of RISOTTO Studio, will take you on a high speed journey through her adventures in business, design and play.
