Hop on in; we’ve got updates nicely lined up for you.

ODDfest 2026 marked the second edition of the festival, alongside the very first editions of ODDference and Creative Week.

Across all three programmes, we gathered in Helsinki to explore creativity, culture, and ideas from multiple perspectives—and to bring together people who believe in the value of crossing disciplines and conversations.

Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, performed, spoke, and helped shape these moments with us.

The 2026 ODDfest, ODDference, and Creative Week moments are now neatly stored in our official Flickr photo bank, ready for browsing, reminiscing, and finding that one photo of yourself you didn't know existed.

As ODDfest 2026 comes to a close, we'd love to hear your thoughts on this year’s festival.

What landed. What didn’t. What you’ll remember. We’d genuinly love to know.

ODDfest exists because a growing group of partners believes that art, business, and society belong in the same conversation.

We're grateful to the organisations that have chosen to build something ambitious with us and to support new connections, ideas, and ways of thinking across sectors.
