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: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.

SUMMARY:WA International Women's Day 2027 - Leaders Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Join For Purpose Leaders for a moving and inspiring morning as we celebrate International Women’s Day 2027 with a special breakfast honouring the remarkable women who have shaped Western Australia’s history — not only through leadership and activism\, but also through the often-unrecognised roles of motherhood\, caregiving\, and community building. \nGuided by this year’s theme\, Lead the Change\, we recognise that leadership is not confined to a single path or sector. Too often\, conversations around leadership happen within silos — yet the skills\, insights\, and experiences that define great leadership are transferable\, adaptable\, and enriched by diverse perspectives. This event brings together voices from across industries\, creating a space to learn from one another and lead beyond boundaries.
