Shaping the next phase of tech policy, industry leadership, and member value
2026 marks the Tech Council’s 5-year anniversary and we’re bringing members together across the country to help shape the next phase of tech policy, industry leadership and member value.
Join our Member Forums & Drinks Series to:
- Meet Lucinda Longcroft, our new Director of Policy & Government Affairs
- Connect with the TCA leadership team
- Influence the next stage of Australia’s tech policy and industry leadership
Bring your colleagues too. We encourage multiple attendees per organisation - across cities - as cross-functional perspectives help strengthen the quality and impact of these discussions.
Audience
We encourage organisations to send multiple staff across:
- Policy / GR
- Technology leadership (CTO/CDO/engineering)
- Talent & Skills
- ESG / Sustainability
- Product, strategy, operations
- Communications/PR teams
- Local state-based representatives
Why Attend
- Contribute to TCA’s policy platform — share your insights and challenges across AI, cyber, digital economy, fintech, climate tech, national security, talent, competition reform, sustainability and more.
- Connect cross-functionally — attendance by Policy, HR, CTO, Product, Compliance, Growth, government relations and research staff supports whole-of-business insights.
