Where IDEAS COLLIDE, AND CLARITY EMERGES

Assembly is a day of convergence, designed to unlock the value that emerges when honest dialogue, brave ideas, and pioneering innovation meet.
Across five stages of programming, Assembly traverses the full spectrum of curiosity: from industry verticals and emerging technologies to the intersections where disciplines blend, ideas collide, and new perspectives take shape. Every conversation, session, and connection is crafted with intention.. to help you build the clarity, networks, and skills needed to move confidently into the future.

What you’ll Gain

Explore the Ideas Shaping What’s Next
ASSEMBLY brings together founders, investors, and leaders who are actively creating the future. Through honest conversation and interactive sessions, you’ll unpack the forces transforming industries, from emerging technology and capital markets to sustainability and culture. This isn’t about prediction; it’s about understanding the currents that will define the next decade, and how you can help shape them.
Learn from Those Building in Real Time
At ASSEMBLY, we'll share the realities of building, funding, and scaling in an unpredictable world: the wins, the lessons, and the moments of resilience. You’ll gain insight grounded in experience, not theory, and leave with frameworks you can actually apply. Every discussion is designed to turn ideas into action and conversation into clarity.
Build Relationships that Matter
The value of ASSEMBLY lies as much in who’s beside you as who’s on stage. Across curated discussions, small-group sessions, and shared breaks, you’ll meet peers, mentors, and collaborators who challenge and inspire you. This is where trust begins.. where a conversation over coffee becomes the start of a partnership, investment, or idea that carries far beyond the day.
Realign Purpose and Perspective
In the rush of execution, it’s easy to lose sight of the why behind the work. ASSEMBLY creates the space to pause, listen, and reconnect with the bigger picture. Through reflection and shared dialogue, you’ll leave with renewed energy, a clearer sense of direction, and the confidence to lead with both vision and intent.

HAVE A QUESTION?

Can I transfer my ticket?
Absolutely! You can transfer your ticket to someone else up to 14 days before the event. Just make sure all the new details are updated in time so we can welcome them properly.
When will the full program be live?
We’ll be sharing the final program in Feb 2026 ..  it’s worth the wait! Keep an eye on your inbox, website and our socials for reveals in the lead up. 
Where should I book accomodation?
We recommend finding a spot on the east side of Adelaide’s CBD .. it’s close to the action and easy to get around. For the final day, we’ll be heading to McLaren Vale (yes, wine country!), so we’d love for you to make a night of it and stay over there too.
What's the dress code?
Think smart-casual meets comfy. You’ll be moving, mingling, and exploring, so wear what makes you feel good and ready for connection.
WHERE CAN I FIND & REGISTER FOR THE COMMUNITY SESSIONS? 
Community session registrations will open in January 2026. We’ll share all the details when the program drops .. you won’t want to miss it.
