Something Digital 2026

August 25-26, 2026 | Brisbane

 

Get ready for the Digital Innovation event of the year as Something Digital returns for its 9th annual festival in 2026. We’ll be back better than ever with 4 stages, 80+ inspiring speakers, hands-on masterclasses, delicious eats, endless networking, and a community of digital legends like no other.

 

Whether you’re joining us for the first time or a seasoned pro, you won’t want to miss it.

World class program and speakers

The heart of Something Digital is an array of mind-blowing content and speakers.

 

The program is focused on strengthening digital capabilities, fostering thought leadership, and showcasing the great digital innovations found right here in our own backyard!

 

The Something Digital program is delivered by more than 80 speakers each year. The 2026 lineup included headliners from organisations including Google, Wired, Mastercard, ACLU and more.

Hands-on masterclasses

A dedicated suite of small group masterclasses provides attendees the opportunity to deep dive into a selection of digital innovation topics.

 

These hands-on, interactive how-to workshops break down topical, big picture concepts into tangible actions that attendees can take back to the office and run with.

Endless networking opportunities

Serendipitous networking is grand – those magical encounters that just happen. But sometimes a little opportunity and structure is helpful to facilitate connections  with new and like-minded people and expand our horizons.

 

From structured speed networking to our intimate invite-only keynote connections, there are endless opportunities to meet like minded digital innovation legends.

A space to connect + recharge

Network informally at our Coffee Cart or whilst enjoying a bite in our Food Zone.

 

Then at the end-of-day come together for Happy Hour on Tuesday and the official Something Fest drinks on Wednesday. Because sometimes the very best conversations happen when we least expect it.

 

This year, all ticket holders will enjoy bottomless coffee, vouchers to cover lunch from food truck  vendors  and every ticket holder is welcome to engage in all  networking opportunities.

Iconic Brisbane venues

All Something Digital venues are located on the King Street Precinct in Bowen Hills – all within 250m of one another.

 

The iconic Tivoli acts as the main stage and HQ for Something Digital, while Rydges, and Winghaus all host various other elements of the festival.
