A Future in Question is your chance to watch two seriously smart humans go head-to-head on where AI is taking us next.

About the Event

AI is rewriting the rules — and not everyone’s thrilled about it. Will the bots take our jobs? What does it mean for our kids growing up in a machine-mediated world? And are we sprinting toward a future we don’t fully understand?

Future in Question is a live, unscripted conversation where two seasoned technologists cut through the noise to unpack what’s really at stake. No hype, no fluff — just sharp insights, big questions, and honest takes on the future of AI.

Expect a mix of deep technical context, accessible discussion, and audience Q&A, followed by networking with WA’s innovation community.

Why it Matters

This satellite event brings one of the most urgent conversations of our time into the heart of West Tech Fest: the societal impact of AI. By sparking dialogue between builders, researchers, founders, policymakers, and students, we’ll explore both the promise and perils of emerging technologies — and what it all means for WA’s future.

Hear from two leaders in AI as they debate… well actually we don’t know what they will say.

Jeroen Van Dalen
Founder, technologist, chief tinkerer of all things AI.
Back in December 2026 he made 14 AI predictions.

Basically: the guy to listen to when the future is speeding toward us.

Aidan Morgan
Chief Engineer at Bankwest. Former Atlassian. Four-time startup VP/CTO. Once skeptical that AI would turn engineers into glorified babysitters… now cautiously optimistic.

Come for the debate. Stay for the chaos, the hot takes, and the “did they just say that?” moments.
