What to expect from ATEM2026

While the ATEM2026 program is taking shape, we know many of you are already planning ahead – whether that’s making the case to your manager, securing travel funding or simply getting a feel for what to expect.

ATEM’s flagship conference is known for its strong and diverse program, designed by the sector, for the sector. Last year, our program featured a dynamic mix of keynote speakers, panel discussions and more than 60 concurrent sessions, alongside workshops, a vibrant social program, wellbeing sessions and plenty of opportunities to connect. It bought together 400 delegates from across Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand and beyond.

Critically the conference strikes a balance between big-picture thinking and practical insights you can take straight back into your work. If you’re looking for a sense of what’s to come, we encourage you to explore last year’s program. It’s a great way to see the breadth of topics, voices and ideas that define ATEM and to start building your case for being part of ATEM2026.
