19 – 20 May 2026 • MCG, Melbourne

Attend AgileAus26

Building our intelligent future

Two days at one of Australia’s most iconic venues – the MCG, Melbourne.

AgileAus26 is for people who believe that how we work matters and that getting it right takes more than the right tools.

At AgileAus26, we’re putting people first so that agility and intelligence can become embedded in everything we do. Agility has never been more tested or more needed. The organisations making the most of AI are those who are investing in how their people work, collaborate, and deliver.

An agile mindset is the compass that makes intelligent tools actually useful.

At AgileAus26, we’re bringing together the people doing this work — to share what’s working, what isn’t, and what better looks like from here.

  • Stay close to the customer – even when everything else is shifting
  • Build teams that can decide, not just execute – cultivate autonomy, trust, and confident decision-making
  • Create workplaces where people can do their best work – healthy, adaptive, and genuinely productive
  • Use AI with intention – amplifying what people do best

Looking to help your team work smarter, not harder?

Navigating what AI actually means for how your team delivers?

Feeling like you’re carrying this alone in your organisation?

What to expect at AgileAus26

AgileAus26 combines keynotes, hands-on interactive sessions, and open forums – designed so you can listen, contribute, and leave with more than you arrived with.

Harness AI with intention
Move beyond the hype to grounded conversations about what’s actually working — and what isn’t — when teams integrate AI into how they deliver.

Shift from busy to productive
Focus on outcomes that matter. Learn how the best teams design their work to deliver value rather than generate activity.

Build for people first
Create intelligent, adaptive workplaces where autonomy, trust, and clear direction make teams genuinely effective.

Move from project to product
Continuously learn from customers. Deliver value iteratively rather than waiting for the perfect plan.

Drive technical excellence
Build robust, reliable, scalable solutions that hold up in the real world.

Reimagine how work gets done
In an age of intelligent tools, the way we design work is as important as the tools we use to do it.

#AgileAus25 wasn't just a conference — it was a community experience. It reinforced that agility is about more than frameworks; it's about people, purpose, and progress. I'm walking away with new ideas, new connections, and a deeper commitment to building better ways of working.
