Our ethos
To understand how we do things, take a look into the origins and ethos of LAST Conferences, on the Submission Principles page which includes videos from a previous LAST info night.
Watch these videos!
In 2018 we held an info session in Melbourne, there are some logistics that are different for Brisbane the detail of submission links, contacts etc you will find on here. But what still applies, are the principles around the content, and the thought process submitters are encouraged to take. Even though we are being thorough about passing on the principles we want you to work on, there is still flexibility for you, when you submit ideas.
June 2024 Update
If you only watch one video, watch this at 1.5 or 2x speed!
This emphasises the main points in the videos below and any updates since then. It was recorded in 2022, but it still applies for this year.
