Everything you need to know about Open Summit.
Can’t find what you’re looking for? We’re here.
Founders, operators and senior decision-makers working out where their AI budget goes next. It is built for the people who have to make the call and then live with it. You do not need to be technical to follow any of it.
An honest read on where AI actually is right now, what it costs to run and what it returns, a playbook you can apply to your own operation, and a prioritised list you can act on Monday morning. That last one is the point. Most AI events send people home with notes.
No. There is no trade floor and no exhibition hall — one room, one stage, and everyone sees the same thing. Speakers are operators showing what they have actually deployed inside a real business, including what it cost them and what they switched off.
The 2026 stages included Toby Walsh, Scientia Professor of AI at UNSW; Clayton Cross; Jack Bear of Norg AI; Dr Kia Pajouhesh of Smile Solutions; and John McGiffin of Natural Velocity, with Kate Save hosting. Each 2027 city’s line-up is announced with its date.
One room, one stage, no breakout tracks, so nobody has to choose what to miss. In 2026 that meant four keynotes and a moderated operator panel with audience Q&A, with networking either side. Sydney ran doors at 11:00, program from midday to 3:00pm, and drinks afterwards. Each 2027 city’s run sheet is published with its date.
Town Halls in Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. In the United States, The Town Hall in New York, the Chicago Theatre, and the Majestic Theatre in Dallas. Bangkok and Dubai are still to be announced.
Every tier includes the full program — all keynotes, the panel, and networking before and after — plus an event pack before the day. Regular is theatre seating, upstairs and rear floor. Premium adds preferred main floor seating and priority entry. VIP adds front row reserved seating, post-event drinks with the speakers, and a second seat so you can bring someone. Pricing for each tier sits on the city page.
Yes. You can buy up to ten seats in a single checkout and adjust the number before you pay. VIP includes a second seat as standard. If you need more than ten, or want to sort seating for a larger group, open a channel below and we will set it up.
Tickets are transferable at no charge, which is usually the easiest fix: pass it to a colleague and tell us their name before the day so their badge is ready. If you would rather refund, 30 days or more before the event is a full refund and 15 to 29 days is half. Inside 15 days we cannot refund, but the ticket still transfers.
