Oddfest is a new kind of festival—a bold fusion of a conference and festival that breaks down silos between business, art, and society. Over two electrifying days, the heart of Helsinki transforms into a living lab, pulsing with the energy of innovators, artists, and thought disruptors reimagining the future of creativity.
At Oddfest, creativity is not confined to industries—it flows freely between them. This is where entrepreneurs and artists meet, where thinkers and doers collide, and where groundbreaking ideas take shape through radical collaboration.

A CREATIVE COLLISION
Embrace the chaos
Amidst the doom and disorder haunting planet Earth and the creative realm, Oddfest takes over with its joyous medley of misfit artists, oddball entrepreneurs, and eccentric visionaries determined to rewire the creative ecosystem.
Because in uncertain times, creativity isn’t just an escape—it’s a necessity. The best ideas often feel odd and unsettling at first. They spark emotions, challenge norms, and emerge from disorder, needing structure to thrive. Oddfest is here to connect the unconnected—to build bridges between industries, dismantle old power structures, and spark new ways of working together.
We believe in the power of the odd—the beautifully disruptive—to accelerate innovation and inspire a new era of fearless creativity.
For two days, the city mutates into an electrified petri dish of creativity, where art and commerce conjoin, industries overlap, and new movements are born.
Chaos 01 stage
Focus 02 stage
Oddfest unfolds across three uniquely curated stages, each designed to push creative boundaries in a different way.
CHAOS smashes together creativity and ʞsᴉɹ in the form of unexpected performances, odd combo opportunities, and bold ideas that break barriers. FOCUS takes you on deeeeeeep explorations of essential themes driving progress in art, business, and society, diving into big ideas, raw conversations, and cutting-edge concepts. LOVE spurs collective ingenuity in real-time, encouraging us to participate, connect, and co-create as a force for greater good—because true creativity flourishes in shared experiences.
This intoxicating concoction of creative humans will unzip your mind and slow-dance with your subconscious, french-kiss your eyeballs, and ASMR its way into your ear canals with frequencies only the bold can hear.
Love 03 stage
Oddfest isn’t just a festival—it’s a co-created explosion of creativity. Our lineup is shaped by you, our odd and fearless community, bringing together boundary-smashing artists, radical thinkers, and bold innovators ready to challenge the norm.
Across Chaos, Focus, and Love, expect an unexpected mix of performances, ideas, and collaborations—where oddity sparks opportunity, and creativity fuels change.
By March, we’ll unveil the full program, but here’s a sneak peek at the wild mix of minds and acts already in movement:
