World’s leading festival
for business and creativity.

Pause Fest is an independent, industry-driven movement with a mission to bring diverse intelligence together to fuel the next generation forward. Our innovation focus is about people, mindset and culture - for a good purpose.

We’ve been described as 'Innovation Capital', 'Octoberfest for business' and 'Woodstock for digital natives’. In 2020, we welcomed over 9,000 attendees and 10,000 online live viewers with over 80 media outlets from across the world. In fact, over the course of ten years, our event has seen 80,000 movers, shakers and creative change-makers come through its doors.

In 2021, we’re self claiming ‘MTV for innovation’ title and we can’t wait for you to experience the next level of online event experience built on UX. Less FOMO, more INSPO.

“I’m such a big fan of Pause Fest. What inspires me most about Pause is that it is always thinking about the future world we want. I see my role in helping people to understand how we use tech to get there. But Pause loops together so many different parts of the community - artists and creative, business leaders, tech gurus and many more. Collaboration at scale is how we will achieve great things.”
