SUMMARY:State of Social '26
DESCRIPTION:State of Social is an award-winning digital and social marketing conference. In 2026\, it’s an educational\, provocative experience where the industry’s sharpest minds gather to challenge assumptions\, share hard-won insights and figure out what actually works in modern marketing. \nOver two days at Optus Stadium in Perth\, Australia\, SOS26 goes deep on ‘Friction’; the tension between strategy and instinct\, creativity and constraint\, humans and machines\, ambition and budgets. Not as a problem to solve\, but as the thing that\, when you understand it\, makes you a better marketer. \nDay one fires up your imagination with keynotes and breakouts from the industry’s most compelling thinkers. Day two gets practical\, with deep-dive education sessions across strategy\, creativity\, technology and more. And it’s all available for you to rewatch on-demand with an All Access ticket. \nNo sales pitches. No recycled content. Just honest conversations\, fresh perspectives\, and 24-plus hours of programming designed to make you think differently and work smarter. Plus gourmet food\, bottomless barista-brewed coffee and those signature SOS experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

SUMMARY:Government Innovation Showcase Western Australia 2026
DESCRIPTION:Driving Whole-of-Government Innovation Across Western Australia \nAs Western Australia faces increasing economic pressures\, growing public expectations\, and the rapid pace of digital change\, the need for connected\, future-focused government has never been greater. In 2026\, the public sector must deliver not only smarter services\, but also stronger cross-agency collaboration\, streamlined processes\, and data-led decision-making. \nBuilding on the momentum of 2025\, where digital identity\, inclusion\, accessibility\, and connectivity for regional and rural communities emerged as top priorities\, the 2026 Government Innovation Showcase WA will bring together leaders from across departments to explore the strategies\, technologies\, and leadership approaches driving the next phase of transformation. \nAligned with the next chapter of the Western Australian Digital Strategy\, the Showcase will address practical ways to overcome persistent barriers such as policy bottlenecks\, legacy systems\, and funding constraints\, while unlocking innovation through shared vision\, modern digital capabilities\, and bold leadership. \nJoin us in July 2026 as part of Government Innovation Week Western Australia to help shape a more connected\, inclusive\, and innovative future for the state — where collaboration is essential and transformation is a shared mission.

SUMMARY:Australia-Germany Hydrogen and Energy Forum
DESCRIPTION:Australia–German Hydrogen and Energy Forum: Research and industry hand in hand sends a strong signal for international cooperation in the field of hydrogen and sustainable energy. The forum brings together stakeholders from research\, industry and politics in Australia\, Germany and Saxony to tap into joint innovation potential\, promote technology transfer and develop new partnerships along sustainable energy and value chains. \nThe governments of Australia and of the Federal Republic of Germany share the common goal of reducing their dependence on fossil fuels and decarbonising their economies. Both countries are committed to developing a national green hydrogen economy. The joint long-term goal is to make green hydrogen economically viable. Australia and Germany therefore support the establishment of a global green hydrogen economy. This opens up a wide range of opportunities for German companies to build up business with partners from Australia\, for example in the field of component manufacturing for fuel cells and electrolysers\, Battery technologies\, in plant engineering and in the production\, transport and storage of green hydrogen.
