🎯 Registration essential

In 2026 we welcome back Mark Ritson. Expect fresh Aussie Effie’s data and sharp insights in this highly anticipated sequel to his standout 2024 session. If you know Mark, you know what that means. If you don’t, this is one you simply can’t miss. Warning: contains strong evidence.

Also joining us is Lara Thom, Global CMO of Guzman y Gomez - recently recognised as Australia’s #1 CMO - who helped transform the cult challenger brand into an IPO success story. Lara is redefining agile, data-driven marketing at scale, and we can’t wait to share audio’s role in their growth.

And they're in good company. From the airwaves to the ICC, some of the biggest names in Australian audio will be in the room: Christian O'Connell (ARN), Ricki-Lee & Tim (NOVA Entertainment), Nath & Emma (SCA), Ben Fordham (Nine Audio), and Gabi & Dan (ACE Radio).

Some of audio's biggest stars, two industry experts, one stage, and an afternoon that will reshape how you think about the power of audio.

Registration is free, but seats are strictly limited and will book out quickly.

HEARD 2026 is presented by Commercial Radio & Audio (CRA)
