REMIX EXPLORES THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN CULTURE, TECHNOLOGY AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP.

REMIX Summit Sydney is back for its 12th year! Join us for two days of creative collisions at Australia’s largest creative industries summit – a rare opportunity for the nation’s changemakers to gather and plot future possibilities together.

REMIX Summits are your field guide to the future, held in leading creative cities worldwide. Explore how to harness revolutionary ideas that are transforming culture and the creative industries.

— Two days crammed full with inspirational talks, discussions and networking. Hear from and meet innovators and changemakers from across the creative and cultural sectors, business, technologists, policy makers, media and entrepreneurship.

— REMIX Summit Sydney 2026 features over 50 speakers – curated from world-class innovators across culture, tech and business.

— Short main stage talks followed by intimate ‘Follow the Speaker’ discussions – dive deeper with the conversations you want to focus on. Plus all talks available digitally on-demand afterwards (from August 28th), so you won’t miss a thing.

— Meet potential collaborators from multiple industries – the social programme of REMIX is integral to the experience – meet the best minds to compare notes and create bold new collaborations.

THE POWER OF POSSIBILITY • REMIX SYDNEY 2026 THEMES

— 2026 TRENDS
The future isn’t inevitable: it is formed from the possibilities we dream and build. So as society becomes more fragmented, how can we create and connect in extraordinary new ways? Rather than simply responding to trends, how can we anticipate shifts and use our cultural influence to help define better tomorrows?

— IMMERSIVE STORYWORLDS
Despite the promise of immersive, we’ve seen experiences that feel hollow or algorithmic. This session looks beyond the hype to explore the possibilities for transformative, meaningful experiences across storytelling, art and exhibition. What tools and creative leaps are turning immersive into an artform with genuine impact?

— HUMAN-CENTRED ART/TECH
AI presents both incredible opportunities and very real threats to our ecosystem. Beyond the headlines, how do we navigate this new creative frontier? What are the wider opportunities for human-centred possibilities using creative tech? How can creatives reclaim control, and what alternative tech-enabled futures might be possible?

— REWIRING CULTURE
Many cultural professionals feel exhausted, doing more with less, under-funded and undervalued. With more money unlikely, how do we rewire our sector to be more sustainable and impactful, using existing resources? What new formats, spaces and models become exciting possibilities when we are freed from traditional assumptions?

— CREATIVE PLACEMAKERS
In the face of a fragmented, frustrated public, our towns and cities are our cultural frontlines. What are the creative possibilities that empower communities, build trust, bridge divides, and strengthen local pride? How can we build resilient local ecosystems through inspired, vibrant placemaking?

— DELIVERY IS ALL
Possibility is nothing without action. What can we learn from those builders who turn bold possibilities into tangible realities? How do we navigate the many hurdles: bureaucracy, cynicism, isolation and gatekeeping? How do we overcome limited resources and risk aversion? How can we work as an ecosystem rather than as individuals?

— PURPOSE-LED
Purpose isn’t a limitation; it’s a catalyst for possibility and for solving complex challenges. Which new models show that artistic integrity, financial sustainability, social activism, and environmental responsibility are not competing goals, but interconnected drivers of success? How do we put creativity to work?

— LEFT-FIELD THINKING
The most promising possibilities often come from the most unpredictable places. There’s always room at REMIX for unexpected topics that allow for serendipitous moments of discovery – the “aha” moments that challenge our thinking and encourage us to join new dots. Moments of extraordinary, pure REMIX magic.

HOSTED AT THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM

We’re delighted that REMIX Summit Sydney 2026 will once again be hosted at the Australian National Maritime Museum – Australia’s museum of the sea.

Set in Darling Harbour, the museum is a pleasant 15 minute stroll across Pyrmont Bridge from the centre of Sydney’s CBD, or a 20 minute walk from Town Hall Station. The 389 bus from Bondi Junction, the Light Rail (Pyrmont Bay) and the spectacular F4 ferry (Pyrmont Bay) route all stop on its doorstep.
