About this Event
GROWTH – MANDURAH TECH FEST 2026
One day. Three streams. Economic growth, innovation and investment.
Mandurah Tech Fest 2026 culminates with GROWTH a full day program bringing together business owners, innovators, investors, industry leaders and government to explore new opportunities, build valuable connections and accelerate economic growth.
Taking place on Friday 20 November 2026 at Mandurah Offshore Fishing and Sailing Club (MOFSC), GROWTH is designed for anyone interested in the future of business, technology, investment and regional development.
Whether you're a business owner looking for your next opportunity, an innovator bringing new technology to market, an investor seeking emerging businesses, an industry leader exploring new solutions or an economic development professional working to attract investment and support local enterprise, GROWTH offers something for you.
The program brings together founders, technology companies, property and construction leaders, investors, advisors, Local Government representatives, State Government agencies and economic development organisations.
It's an opportunity to move beyond your usual networks, discover what others are building and connect with the people who can help turn ideas into commercial opportunities.
Rather than a traditional single-stream conference, GROWTH features three concurrent streams across three dedicated spaces at MOFSC.
Move between the Marina View Room, Amphitheatre and Ocean View Board Room throughout the day, building a program around the topics, industries and opportunities most relevant to you.
