WA’s premier tech festival comes to the Great Southern

For more than two decades, West Tech Fest has connected WA’s founders, investors and technologists with global leaders. In 2026 the festival comes to Kinjarling | Albany for the first time, in the same week the main program runs in Perth.

This event is built for the Great Southern: food and agriculture producers, clean energy and environment projects, First Nations and community innovators, and small businesses solving real problems a long way from a capital city.

Day one showcases local ideas with real impact. Day two links you to he main West Tech Fest stage, live on screen, alongside hands-on orkshops. Hosted in Albany’s bicentenary year.
