Open Summit AI Melbourne: 2026 record and 2027 return

Returning in 2027

Melbourne returns in 2027; the date is not announced. Register interest through the Melbourne page for updates. Do not treat a particular 2027 date or an old advertised price as current confirmed information.

The 2026 event

Melbourne Town Hall, 14 May 2026: sold out, 1,725 attended. The attendance figure describes the people at that completed event, not a future venue’s capacity or a ticket-sales projection.

Open Summit AI is a one-day, one-stage AI business summit for business owners, operators and executives. Speakers share real AI deployments, costs, lessons from what did not work, and practical priorities for the next working day. There are no breakout rooms or parallel tracks.

The programme covers practical business AI, enterprise systems, automation, governance and workforce questions. Exhibitor stands are part of the event; the stage focuses on useful operator experience.

What carries forward—and what does not

The business focus and one-stage format explain Open Summit’s approach. A past speaker appearance, past ticket price, past run sheet or past sponsor relationship does not automatically carry into a future edition. Future programme and ticket arrangements will be announced separately.
