Helsinki
Lasipalatsikortteli
ODDfest is not quite a festival, and it’s definitely not just a conference. The first of its kind at Lasipalatsikortteli in Helsinki, this two-day event (6–7 June 2025) is a counter-move to the creative industries feeling stuck—uniting art, business and society to unlock its trapped potential.
Here’s what to expect:
By day: debates, workshops, and co-creation designed to spark cross-sector collisions.
By night: music, installations, film, and performing arts.
In all: 16+ music acts, 40+ speakers & 20+ creative showcases.
ODDfest is for anyone building, designing, branding, creating, coding, performing, imagining or dreaming about the future of creativity and culture.
Our 2025 theme? Chaos & Acceleration. Because nothing new ever starts in perfect order.
Ready to step into the ODD?
We believe in the strange. The unexpected. The ODD.
The ideas that make people pause, question, or panic—that’s where the magic begins.
ODD isn’t an outlier. It’s a creative uprising.
That’s why we’ve curated the ODDest voices in art, business, and society—to challenge, inspire, and short-circuit your expectations.
Built by the community. For those who crave what doesn’t exist (yet).

We’ve been the ODDballs—wrestling with the chaos and making something beautiful out of it.
Volunteering at Finland’s biggest events gave us a friend for life, lessons we didn’t see coming, and a buzz that still hasn’t quit.
Now we’re building something of our own—and we’re inviting you in. It only becomes what it’s meant to be when you make it yours too.
