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.
