SUMMARY:ACS Webinar - Sustainable Data Centres in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:This interactive event will examine how Australia\, and Western Australia in particular\, can capture the economic benefits of AI infrastructure while ensuring that data-centre growth is environmentally\, economically and socially sustainable.\nArtificial intelligence is reshaping the economics and infrastructure requirements of the digital economy\, driving rapid growth in demand for high-performance computing and data-centre capacity. This growth creates a significant sustainability challenge: data centres are energy-intensive\, increasingly concentrated in areas with constrained electricity networks\, and can place substantial demands on water\, land and other infrastructure.At the same time\, they represent a major opportunity for investment\, employment\, innovation and the acceleration of renewable-energy development. Australia attracted approximately $10 billion in data-centre investment during 2024\, while national electricity demand from data centres is expected to increase materially as AI adoption accelerates. \nThis interactive event will examine how Australia—and Western Australia in particular—can capture the economic benefits of AI infrastructure while ensuring that data-centre growth is environmentally\, economically and socially sustainable. Moreover\, the event will consider innovation opportunities in the sustainable development of green data centres with the potential to support Western Australia’s transition to renewable energy. \nLeading experts from industry\, government\, and academia will present the opportunities and issues.  Following the presentations\, participants will unpack hypothetical case study scenarios before reporting back to the group in a dynamic interactive session. \nMoreover\, the event will consider innovation opportunities in the sustainable development of green data centres with the potential to support Western Australia’s transition to renewable energy.

SUMMARY:For Purpose Leaders Aged Care Sustainability Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Join senior leaders for this critical conversation on Aged care sustainability\, pricing pressures\, and way forward\, LIVE streamed nationally\n\n\n\nATTEND Online or In-Person \nThe Aged Care Sustainability Breakfast is a focused policy conversation\, not a broad industry showcase\, bringing together the people shaping and responding to reform: providers\, financial analysts\, peak bodies and government representatives. The agenda is deliberately narrow: sustainability\, pricing\, and what needs to happen before the next Federal Budget. \nWith sector pre-budget submissions due in the coming months and key funding milestones landing from March 2027\, this breakfast is timed to sharpen the sector’s ask\, and put it in front of the people who can act on it.

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
