Relationships Create Opportunity.
Mandurah Tech Fest 2026 begins by bringing together innovators, industry, investors, government and business for an afternoon dedicated to making meaningful connections.
From the official opening ceremony and high-energy speed networking to an exclusive VIP cruise across Mandurah's waterways, CONNECT is designed to start the festival with the conversations and relationships that can create opportunities throughout the week.
Meet. Connect. Cruise. Create opportunities.
3:30pm to 4pm
Be welcomed by the City of Mandurah Cr Shannon Wright, followed by a keynote address from Invest and Trade Western Australia, highlighting the opportunities driving innovation, investment, international trade and economic growth across the region.
Join industry leaders, innovators, investors, government and the community as we officially launch five days of connection, collaboration and opportunity.
4pm to 5:00pm
Kick-start your festival experience by meeting the people who can shape the week ahead.
With 80 participants and 8 minute structured networking rounds, you'll connect with innovators, industry leaders, investors, government representatives, founders and business professionals in a fast-paced environment designed to maximise meaningful introductions.
Whether you're looking for new clients, strategic partners, investment opportunities, industry insights or simply to grow your network, this session will ensure you leave with valuable connections before the festival has even begun.
5:00pm to 7pm
Finish Day One with one of the festival's most exclusive experiences.
The VIP Cruise brings together a curated group of innovators, investors, industry leaders, government representatives, sponsors and keynote speakers for an evening of relaxed networking on the beautiful Mandurah waterways.
With numbers intentionally limited to 50 guests, this is your opportunity to build meaningful relationships in a unique setting away from the conference environment. Whether you're seeking new partnerships, investment conversations or simply quality connections, the VIP Cruise is where some of the festival's best conversations begin.
