DISRUPT is growing fast. The Festival. The meetups. The community. The conversations around creativity and AI. And growth creates pressure and opportunities — the good kind. The kind that needs smart, switched-on people around the table.

That’s what the DISRUPT Ambassador Program is for.

What is the DISRUPT Ambassador Program?

The DISRUPT Ambassador Program invites a small group of motivated students and early-career creatives

to support the growth of DISRUPT across events, promotion and university engagement. Ambassadors

contribute between 10 to 15hrs at monthly meetups and gain meaningful access, experience, visibility, and connection in return.

It’s a year-long opportunity to work alongside the team behind Australia’s first dedicated GenAI Film Festival and its growing cultural platform.

What Ambassadors Do

Support promotion of DISRUPT meet-ups and the Festival

Assist with university engagement and student outreach

Contribute to event and production work streams as needed

Act as advocates for DISRUPT within their communities

Time Commitment

Approximately 10–15 hours per month

Flexible and project-based, aligned to key DISRUPT activity

This is designed to fit around study or early-career work — not overwhelm it. We respect your time. We expect you to respect ours.
