WHERE CREATIVE WORLDS COLLIDE
Built in Three Layers
ODDfest 12.—13.6.
A multidisciplinary creative gathering across iconic venues in the heart of Helsinki. Half festival, half industry event — combining performances, talks, installations, workshops, screenings, showcases and nightlife. Educating by day, entertaining by night.
ODDference 11.—12.6.
A new kind of conference where business leaders and policymakers come to learn directly from creatives. Across two days of program, artists, designers, researchers, media innovators and cultural leaders showcase how creativity shapes leadership, communities, experiences and the future of society.
Creative Week 8.—14.6.
A city-wide format activating public spaces across Helsinki with free and accessible cultural programming. Built together with local communities, venues and operators, it turns the city into an open stage for contemporary creativity under the wider ODD umbrella.
ODDfest—The Cultural Heart
A cross-disciplinary creative festival in the heart of Helsinki, ODDfest celebrates the vast talents of the creative industries. With its signature mix of boundary-pushing performances and a layer of industry-relevant dialogue, ODDfest forms a true ODDe to creativity, offering art that moves you and conversations that move the industry forward.
ODDference—Where Businesses Learn From Creatives
A new professional format that brings business leaders, entrepreneurs, and policy-makers into the audience to learn from creatives. Here, creative professionals take the stage not as entertainers, but as experts in building cultural momentum, creating loyalty around ideas, and crafting experiences that move audiences.
Creative Week—The City As a Canvas
A new city-wide format activating public spaces across Helsinki with free cultural programming accessible to all. Meant to highlight all the culture and local creativity this city has to offer, Creative Week prompts Helsinki initiatives and operators to craft creative programming of their own under the ODD umbrella.
