SUMMARY:Quantum Essentials: Understanding the Next Computing Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Quantum Essentials is an accessible\, interactive masterclass designed for professionals who want to understand quantum technology.\nQuantum computing is one of the most talked-about emerging technologies\, but for many professionals working in digital and technology\, it can feel distant or overly complex. As quantum computing and other quantum-based technologies move from research labs into real-world applications\, technology leaders need a clear\, practical understanding of what this shift means for their industries\, their organisations\, and their careers. \nQuantum Essentials is an accessible\, interactive masterclass designed for professionals who want to understand quantum technology without needing a physics background. This session cuts through the hype to provide a grounded introduction to what quantum computing actually is\, where it’s headed\, and why it matters for cybersecurity\, digital strategy\, and long-term transformation planning. The focus is on understanding\, not coding\, empowering participants to engage confidently in conversations about quantum technology and its strategic implications. \nThis masterclass is led by Dr Guy Barry\, Partnerships Development Manager for the Queensland Node of Quantum Australia\, the national centre for quantum growth backed by the Department of Industry\, Science and Resources. Guy brings over 30 years of innovation experience spanning neuroscience\, stem cell biology\, anti-aging research\, and emerging technologies.

SUMMARY:Climate informed energy demand modelling for regional communities
DESCRIPTION:Energy systems operating in regional and remote environments are increasingly affected by rising temperatures\, changing weather patterns and evolving customer energy consumption behaviours. These factors are introducing new challenges for engineers responsible for planning\, forecasting and maintaining reliable electricity networks.\nThis presentation will explore how climate-informed demand and energy forecasting methods can be used to improve planning under uncertain future conditions. Attendees will gain insight into scenario-based forecasting approaches\, the incorporation of climate variables into demand models\, and the role of uncertainty analysis in supporting engineering decision-making. \nDrawing on practical experience from regional Western Australian power systems\, the session will highlight challenges\, lessons learned and considerations for engineers seeking to strengthen system resilience and support long-term climate adaptation planning.

SUMMARY:LearnTech Conference & Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:In 2026\, LearnTech will focus on the technologies\, tools and learning environments reshaping how educators teach and how students learn. From smart classrooms\, digital laboratories and simulation technologies to robotics\, coding and AI-powered learning platforms\, the conference will showcase the innovations driving modern education across schools\, TAFEs and training providers.\nA key focus will be the future of education and workforce readiness. As industries continue to evolve\, educators are being challenged to equip learners with the skills needed for careers in automation\, advanced manufacturing\, digital engineering\, renewable energy\, robotics and artificial intelligence. LearnTech will explore how education and industry are working together to meet this challenge. \nWA’s Chief Scientist and leading educators will explore the innovations transforming education & training\, from AI and immersive technologies to the smart learning environments preparing students for the future. Discover how to build your own AI instructor\, use AI as a research and lab partner\, foster creativity in STEM\, and identify\, prevent\, and respond to cyber threats. \nForeword from Professor Sharath Sriram | Chief Scientist WA\n \nWestern Australia is entering one of the most significant periods of transformation in rapidly evolving fields\, including automation\, digital engineering\, renewable energy\, robotics\, and artificial intelligence. To prepare our future workforce\, it is essential that our approach to education and training remains innovative\, adaptive\, and deeply connected to real-world practice.  \nThe 2026 LearnTech Conference\, hosted by IDC Technologies in Western Australia\, plays an important role in this mission. Since its inception\, LearnTech has brought together educators\, technologists\, researchers\, and industry leaders to explore the evolving learning environments shaping the future of STEM education. Events like this strengthen the bridge between emerging technologies and the classrooms\, laboratories\, and training centres where tomorrow’s scientists\, engineers\, and innovators are formed.   \nI commend LearnTech for its commitment to showcasing practical\, hands-on approaches to STEM learning which inspire curiosity\, build capability\, and equip students with the skills needed to thrive in a technology‑driven world. This aligns strongly with the State’s priorities to attract and nurture talent\, foster innovation\, and promote Western Australia as a leader in science and technology nationally and internationally.   \nI am pleased to endorse the LearnTech Conference and encourage educators\, training providers\, policymakers\, and industry partners to participate. By working together\, we can ensure Western Australia continues to lead in developing the scientific and technological capabilities that will drive our future prosperity. \nLearn more and register here

SUMMARY:AI Leadership Sprint
DESCRIPTION:Part of WA AI HUB Leadership Forum and Sprint 2026\, a West Tech Fest event. \n\n\n\n\nAI is now writing reports\, drafting decisions\, and making recommendations inside organisations every day. The hard part is not using the tools. It is knowing when to trust AI’s output and when to push back. \nThe AI Leadership Sprint is a hands-on\, two-hour boardroom simulation. You will not sit and listen to slides. You will work through a realistic scenario with your peers to learn how to spot when AI is confidently wrong\, ask the right questions of any output\, and set clear rules for how your team relies on it. \nWhat you will take home: \n\nFive-Step Method → A simple process to check and challenge AI outputs.\nOne-Page Guide → Outlines who signs off on decisions.\nEscalation Rules → Defines when a decision must be escalated.\nTeam Boundaries → Clear limits your team will not cross.\n\nWho this training is for: \n\nFounders → Build smarter products and scale responsibly with AI.\nBusiness Owners → Streamline operations and unlock growth.\nExecutives → Shape governance\, accountability\, and strategic adoption.\nGovernment Leaders → Drive policy\, compliance\, and public-sector innovation

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: GRDC Grain Automate Open Innovation Call
DESCRIPTION:The Grain Automate Open Innovation Call seeks innovative RD&E proposals that accelerate machine automation\, autonomy\, intelligent systems and precision input use in Australian grain production. The call is designed to attract new participants\, diverse capabilities and novel approaches that complement and strengthen the existing Grain Automate portfolio.

SUMMARY:AI Leadership Forum
DESCRIPTION:The AI Leadership Forum brings together enterprise directors\, government leaders\, and technology delegates from across the Asia-Pacific to work through questions that sit above any single tool: how responsibility is shared\, how to stay on the right side of regulation across borders\, and how organisations keep the trust of their customers and communities as they scale AI. \nExpect a genuine exchange of ideas\, not a lecture. You’ll hear how leaders across Western Australia\, the eastern states\, and neighbouring innovation hubs are approaching the same challenges. You will leave with a clearer view of what good AI governance looks like in practice and what it should mean for the people at the top. \n\n\nPart of the WA AI HUB Leadership Forum and Sprint 2026\, a West Tech Fest satellite event.
