Program + Speakers

2026 Program

At the heart of Something Digital lies our mind-blowing program and sensational speakers. Each year the festival strives to provide a platform for learning, collaboration, and growth within Queensland’s vibrant digital innovation community.

 

Our carefully curated program delves into the strategies, insights, and innovations that are shaping the future of digital.

 

Over 2 days, you’ll hear from global leaders to local innovators, all sharing their expertise and passion for everything digital innovation enables.

Thought Leadership Stage

 

Think 2 days of big picture discussions. The main stage (at The Tivoli) will be the epicenter of bold, thought-provoking conversations that challenge your views on the digital world we’re shaping together.

 

Spanning 6 dynamic content blocks, the program features a rich mix of formats, captivating presentations, lively discussions, and fast-paced riff sessions.

Tools & Skills Stage

 

Back in 2026 we will be hosting a dedicated Tools & Skills stage at Rydges.

 

Each block is designed to equip attendees with the practical expertise needed to thrive in today’s digital world.

Masterclasses


Just down the road at The Jubilee Hotel, our suite of 40-minute masterclasses offers an intimate, hands-on learning experience, capped at just 25 participants per session.

Each masterclass is built around a practical “How To” theme, ensuring attendees walk away with some of the most tangible, actionable takeaways from the entire program.

Speakers

Each year, we scour far and wide to bring together some of the world’s most compelling thought leaders, mischief makers and digital legends to help shape Something Digital.

 

Across multiple stages and immersive activations, Something Digital plays host to 80+ exceptional digital experts each year, stepping up as speakers, panellists and moderators.

 

We’ll be unveiling our first headliners in March, with plenty more speaker announcements rolling out in the lead-up to Something Digital this August. Keep an eye out for updates and explore our Speakers Hall of Fame for a taste of the legends who’ve graced our stages in years past.
