Submissions
Accelerate Your Professional Development in the age of AI
Understanding changes in the way you work
Participants have the opportunity to choose from multiple in-person sessions. In the spirit of our events, most sessions are facilitated by LAST community members.
We want all topics that are related to creating digital products and services.
There will be a focus on the enormous need people have to understand the changes that are happening in work with the rise in all kinds of AI technologies.
A sample of the topic areas that this could cover include
- Case studies: how people are using AI in their work
- Opportunities, limitations, pitfalls and ethical issues
- How jobs and roles are changing in an AI world.
Having said that, not everything is going to be AI focused. There will be a range of topics, just as we have done in previous LAST Conferences.
Submissions are currently being assessed for inclusion on the schedule.

Preview
This event will be held on Wurundjeri land. We acknowledge the people and elders of the Wurundjeri of the Kulin Nation who are traditional custodians of this land. We respect the cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We have been signatories to the Diversity Charter for conferences since 2016. For us, this means taking active steps to ensure that the lineup of presenters we have reflects the community we serve. It also means that we seek out under-represented voices and topics for the schedule.
