Back for its fifth instalment, this is Southeast Asia’s first and only festival of ideas.

A festival of ideas, The Cooler Lumpur Festival is returning with its fifth edition at Publika, Solaris Dutamas this coming August.

And like every year before this, Cooler Lumpur Festival&nbsp;aims to provide a new perspective to its audience by exploring the social, political, technological, and cultural ideas of our present times and tell the story of our collective futures.&nbsp;

Set to happen between 17th to 20th August 2017, this festival adopts specific themes each year and this year, it is themed &quot;Notes From The Future&quot;.

For 2017, &nbsp;The Cooler Lumpur Festival will be collaborating with creative media shop PopDigital, Green Future Malaysia by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology &amp; Water for EXPO 2017, Astro, and British Council Malaysia to provide a long list of interactive line-ups.

And you&rsquo;ll also have a chance to be able to meet and exchange ideas with some outstanding international speakers&nbsp;such as Eva Horn (Austria), Leif Randt (Germany), Olivia Sudjic (UK), Cara Ellison (UK), and Jeff Stein (US).&nbsp;

Not to mention, there will also be a number of local movers and shakers such as Hanna Alkaf, Bernice Chauly, Uthaya Sankar SB, Mahvesh Murad&nbsp;and Jian Goh, who are&nbsp;making an appearance at the festival.&nbsp;
