The forum will run in two parts. It opens on Thursday with a series of interactive workshops on Rottnest Island, focusing on sustainable tourism, respectful cultural engagement, and the infrastructure required to support the island’s visitor footprint. Spaces for the Thursday workshops are limited.

On Friday morning, the program continues with talks from industry innovators and changemakers, exploring how AI, AR and emerging technologies are shaping the future of tourism. The day concludes with an industry lunch, offering valuable time to connect, share insights and reflect on the sessions.

All attendees are also invited to the Welcome Function on Thursday evening on Rottnest Island—an ideal opportunity to network while enjoying the natural beauty of the island.
