Get out of your silo
Great innovations happen when disciplines intersect
Essential for people who are working across digital product and service delivery. These practitioners aren’t just talking about best practices – they’re actively implementing them and will share exactly how they solve real challenges in their work.
Why you should be there:Whether you’re an engineer, product manager, designer, data scientist, researcher, delivery lead, or startup founder, you’ll gain insights from people who understand your challenges and can show you how others approach similar problems.
This is what makes LAST different – it’s where innovations happen, right at the intersection of disciplines. No silos. Just practical, actionable insights you can apply immediately.
Spotlight Speaker: Tim Gentle
Founder & Director, Think Digital
"We're fighting for people who don't get the same access as their city counterparts. We're out there on the frontlines."
Tim Gentle converted a bus into a 14-metre mobile classroom and brought VR, XR, drone and AI technology to regional, rural, and remote Australia. Then he pivoted – taking his innovation beyond our shores into new international markets.
What you can learn about:
Innovation Under Constraints:→ Limited connectivity? Build resilient systems from day one
→ Users can’t come to you? Bring the experience to them→ Design for the edges, build better for everyone
Finding New Markets:→ Regional challenges mirror global opportunities→ Constraints breed innovations that scale unexpectedly→ Breaking silos reveals markets others miss
At LAST Conference Melbourne, Tim will demonstrate how his frontline experience and market pivots challenge how we think about accessible technology, innovation under constraints, and finding opportunities where others see limitations.

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.
