The Forefront is wrapping up 2025 with a bang – flying in renowned creative director Quan Payne for an unmissable end-of-year celebration. 

If you caught Quan on stage at The Design Conference earlier this year, you’ll remember his raw and insightful talk on the paradox of feeling like an imposter – and how that self-doubt can fuel some of the most powerful creative breakthroughs. Now, he’s back in Brisbane for a one-night-only keynote at The Forefront, sharing his latest talk: Creating Without Limits.

With over 20 years of experience across design, direction, and founding his own creative agency, Studio Payne, Quan has worked with global heavyweights including Google, Apple, Nike, Calvin Klein, and Qantas, and even collaborated with LeBron James and Kendall Jenner along the way.

This event is set to inspire creatives, designers, and e-commerce founders alike – anyone who wants to push boundaries and create with purpose. Quan will unpack what it really means to create without limits and why the best ideas aren’t built fast, but built with meaning.

Expect high energy, good vibes, and plenty of creative connections – with a live DJ on the terrace, canapés, and drinks flowing all night.
