Event overview

Driving Whole-of-Government Innovation Across Western Australia

As Western Australia faces increasing economic pressures, growing public expectations, and the rapid pace of digital change, the need for connected, future-focused government has never been greater. In 2026, the public sector must deliver not only smarter services, but also stronger cross-agency collaboration, streamlined processes, and data-led decision-making.

Building on the momentum of 2025, where digital identity, inclusion, accessibility, and connectivity for regional and rural communities emerged as top priorities, the 2026 Government Innovation Showcase WA will bring together leaders from across departments to explore the strategies, technologies, and leadership approaches driving the next phase of transformation.

Aligned with the next chapter of the Western Australian Digital Strategy, the Showcase will address practical ways to overcome persistent barriers such as policy bottlenecks, legacy systems, and funding constraints, while unlocking innovation through shared vision, modern digital capabilities, and bold leadership.

Join us in July 2026 as part of Government Innovation Week Western Australia to help shape a more connected, inclusive, and innovative future for the state — where collaboration is essential and transformation is a shared mission.

Technology, Data, and AI Integration

For leaders in Technology, Data, ICT, Architecture and Transformation. Learn how to modernise systems, embed AI, and leverage data to drive smarter, faster and more resilient government operations

This track delves into the integration of technology, data, and AI across the public sector, with a focus on interoperability, data governance, and sustainable digital infrastructure. As digital maturity grows across departments, the ability to align technologies with strategic priorities—while ensuring privacy, transparency, and accountability—is critical. Sessions will explore how effective technology integration is enabling seamless services, improving decision-making and operational efficiency. We will also explore frameworks for secure data sharing, ethical AI deployment, and inter-agency collaboration, offering a blueprint for scalable, future-ready systems. A key focus will be on building the digital backbone that supports AI adoption: from data warehousing and analytics to machine learning pipelines and integration with legacy systems. This track will also spotlight practical initiatives around whole-of-government platforms, AI governance, and digital twin technologies.

What your peers had to say

Great day of speakers in the Data, AI, IT and Analytics stream. Was inspiring to hear about what is happening in this space and know the capability within the infrastructure is here. Now let's get the people and policy to align.

The showcase was well run and the panel members and speakers all had interesting content. I was somewhat inspired. I found that the whole showcase delivered on exceptional services.
