Western Australia's thought leadership event in exponential technologies and innovation with world renowned thought leaders, national and local experts to explore:

new and emerging technologies over short, medium and long term time horizons and their opportunities and impacts on our lives;
how we can think bigger and bolder about the impact and legacy we can leave during these complex times through the creation of moonshots;
regulatory and ethical considerations to new and emerging technologies to ensure deep consideration is given to maintain safety, privacy and competition;
play, interact, and explore cutting edge local technologies and see how they are making a real difference in people's lives; and
network with people from different sectors and industries.

This event brings Silicon Valley thought leadership to WA!

We will explore the contemporary issues of our time related to technology and innovation to empower you with the knowledge and mindset needed to thrive in the rapidly changing world in which we live. What are the huge technology shifts expected in the future? How will regulation balance progress with safety with such rapid advancements? How can technology be used for greater impact, reduce inequity and solve some of our greatest generational challenges? How do we consciously consider these things as we design the future communities and society we want to live in? And what cool stuff is happening right here, right now?

Come and see what is possible. What is being pursued. What is being dreamed.

This event is important if we wish to catalyze a new era of economic growth (not reliant on resources), job creation and technological advancement. There are incredible opportunities, we just need to see them and grab them with both hands.
