Digifest
From disruption to direction
As technology continues to reshape how we teach, learn, and lead, we invite educators, innovators, and institutional leaders to explore what it means to build a future that is ethical, inclusive, and human-centred.
Through visionary themes—conscious futures, reenvisioning the student experience, and navigating a digital world—we’ll examine how to harness innovation not just for transformation, but for wellbeing, sustainability, and equity.
From AI literacy to curriculum co-design, from digital upskilling to sector-based disruptors, Digifest 2026 offers real-time strategies that can be implemented today to lay the foundations for tomorrow.
Together, we’ll look to shape a sector that doesn’t just adapt to change but leads it.
