Creative Collisions is about combining the industries into one festival to network and learn about each other.

The worlds of film, music, technology and design will come together in Wellington to showcase New Zealand's best innovations and design this November.

The inaugural WLG-X Festival will take place over five days in the Capital drawing diverse sectors together to help shape the future of innovation and creativity through connections, experiences and discovery, organisers says.

WLG-X co-founder and event organiser Terri van Schooten, who ran events such as the Wellington Sevens in the first three years, said WLG-X was inspired by Austin's South By South West Festival, which celebrates the convergence of the interactive, film, and music industries.

"There are heaps of events in tech, design music and film, but there's nothing that pulls the business and entertainment worlds together," she said.

"How do we get these different sectors in our creative communities actually talking together?"

The festival will bring together the latest in music, film, tech and design.

It's the first of its kind in New Zealand with events ranging from film festivals, concerts, talks, and showcases of start-ups and innovation all happening around the city, van Schooten said.

Speakers will be announced over the coming months, but so far WLG-X has secured Head of Uber's flying car project Mark Moore and Aly Ehlinger, a senior booker for C3 Presents, owned by Live Nation.

"We're not just expecting people to show up, watch a film or go to a gig and then go home, they're going to meet with new people, make amazing connections and have a complete experience. With just one ticket to cover all five days, WLG-X is going to be exciting, interesting, easy to get around and fun. It's why we're saying that WLG-X will be filled with creative collisions," van Schooten said.

Panels will be hosted along Wellington's Taranaki Wharf during the day and the evening events will move to the theatres and bars, showcasing film and music.

Bands can apply to showcase their music over the Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at San Francisco, Meow and Caroline.

Van Schooten was expecting attendees to be in their thousands over the five days.

"It's for anybody that is interested in 'the future of'. What is the future of entertainment? What is the future of design? Everything from designing a city to designing a product. What are the new and emerging technologies, everything from flying taxis to major medical breakthroughs which we now are seeing coming form New Zealand," she said.
