ODDfest

Three distinct formats. A whole week's worth of ODD. A quick guide to familiarizing yourself with the event trio and understanding what unfolds across the event week. June 12–13 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. June 11–12 ODDference—Where Creativity Teaches Business 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 concepts that move audiences. June 8–14 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.
