SUMMARY:Australian Maritime Regulatory Environment
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s maritime sector operates within a complex regulatory environment that influences the design\, construction and certification of commercial and defence vessels. Understanding how regulatory authorities\, flag states and classification societies interact is essential for engineers entering or working within the shipbuilding industry. \nThis presentation provides an introduction to Australia’s maritime regulatory framework and the key stakeholders that contribute to vessel compliance and safety. Participants will explore the role of International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) members\, gain an understanding of the regulatory pathways available to new shipbuilding programs\, and examine how systems engineering principles support requirements management\, verification and compliance activities. \nThrough practical examples\, attendees will see how regulatory requirements are translated into engineering processes across the shipbuilding lifecycle and how systems engineering contributes to successful project delivery.

SUMMARY:Stabilising trade during the transition: Creating regional cooperation for a secure energy transition and the successful development of new clean industries
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Perth’s Global Citizen NOW summit to explore the connection between trade and the energy transition. How do we achieve a low-carbon Future Made with Australia: how will Australia work with existing and new trading partners to maintain and build trading relationships when transitioning existing industries and establishing new clean industries? \nOur moderated panel discussion will consider questions including: \n\nWhat role have Australia’s international trading partners played in past industrial development? What can this teach us about future partnerships? How will this transition be different? Which of our assumptions may not be correct?\nIs there a case for regional cooperation to transition trade relationships from high- to low-carbon forms? What do we need to know to assess this?\n\n\nWhat can we learn from the experiences of the companies that are exploring international partnerships for clean industry development?\nHow can Australian governments develop a consistent approach to promoting Australia’s role in low-carbon economies that is inclusive of our trading partners?\nCan we work together regionally to increase demand and improve cost-bearing for low-emission industry development?\nWhat are the key messages from this conversation for Australia’s COP representatives?\n\nPanellists: \nBaethan Mullen\, CEO of The Superpower Institute\, a think tank focused on promoting Australia’s opportunities to unlock prosperity and contribute to global decarbonisation. Baethan has over 20 years of experience in public policy\, regulation and economics with a strong focus on the energy sector. \nDr Sam Bartlett\, Director of Standards at the Green Hydrogen Organisation (GH2)\, a not-for-profit organisation based in Geneva.

SUMMARY:IP Protection for Clinical Research & Health Innovations: What researchers need to know
DESCRIPTION:A strong clinical discovery can lose its path to translation if intellectual property is not considered early enough. Knowing when\, why and how to protect an idea is often the difference between a research project that stays in the lab and one that reaches patients. \nFeaturing Prof Victoria Cogger (CEO\, Sydney Biomedical Accelerator)\, Michael Powell (Commercialisation Manager\, WSLHD)\, Adam Wardell (Industry Growth Program Advisor) and Sylvie Tso (Partner\, Spruson & Ferguson)\, Cicada Innovations is delivering this session with Kids Research/SCHN for clinicians\, researchers and health innovators working on translational projects and emerging health technologies who want a clearer view of how IP protection fits into the work.\nIt covers the practical questions: when protection matters\, why it matters\, and how to approach it in a clinical research setting. Registration is open to all interested attendees. \nBy the end of the masterclass\, you’ll know: \n\nWhen and why to consider IP protection across clinical research\, translational projects and emerging health technologies\nHow clinicians and researchers can approach IP decisions in practice\nThe answers to your live questions during the Q&A\n\nWho it’s for: Clinicians\, researchers\, allied health staff and hospital staff looking to commercialise their research from the public hospital system.

SUMMARY:IN:WA Panel - Working Harder\, Not Smarter. Are We Burning Out the Industry?
DESCRIPTION:The next 2026 IN:WA Panelist event lands on Thursday 15th October at Lawson Flats. \n\n\n\n\nA space for independent agency leaders and industry voices to have honest conversations about what’s shaping our sector. Each IN:WA Panel session brings together experienced operators and external perspectives to challenge thinking and spark real discussion. \nOpen to both IN:WA Members and Non-Members alike! Come to connect\, contribute\, and experience the IN:WA community firsthand. \nIN:WA is bringing together industry experts to discuss the topic: Working Harder\, Not Smarter. Are We Burning Out the Industry? \nAsk anyone in agency life how they’re going and you’ll hear some version of “busy.” More channels\, faster turnarounds\, thinner margins\, always-on communication. But is the industry genuinely harder than it used to be\, or are we just running it the same way we always have while the world around it has changed? \nThis panel brings together three perspectives you don’t usually get in the same room: someone who’s lived through decades of industry culture\, someone who’s just entered it\, and someone who sees the clinical patterns across workplaces like these. \nIN:WA provides a united voice for Western-Australian-owned businesses across the breadth of the creative communications industry\, including Advertising\, Branding\, Digital\, Media\, PR and Production.

SUMMARY:State of Startup Funding Roundtable (invite only)
