Great innovations happen when disciplines intersect
This event brings people together across roles, disciplines and sectors…engineers, product managers, designers, data scientists, researchers, delivery leads, startup founders, and more.
You’ll hear from practitioners who are actively achieving in their fields—and learn not just what they do, but how they do it. Take what you learn and apply it to the products, services and teams that you work with.
Whether you’re part of a growing startup or a large enterprise, you’ll gain the insights, tools, and connections needed to turn ambitious ideas into practical, scalable solutions — and build better products and services together.
Highlights in 2025
- compelling presenters and interesting breakout sessions
- a stimulating physical environment at RMIT, a university of technology, design and enterprise
- a genuine community and peer learning environment

- connections with new people and discover companies you want to work for.

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.
