What to Expect

Get clear. Take action. Build what’s next.

Day One — Tune In

Question. Reframe. Understand.

Explore the shifts behind the headlines - in AI, tech, work and systems - and why they matter.
Make sense of what’s emerging so you can see where you stand and what to do next.

Key Focus: Big-picture trends. Cultural and systemic change. What’s driving the shift and what it means for your work, your role and your community.

Promise: Leave with fresh perspective, shared language and a clearer sense of what’s unfolding and where you stand within it.

Day Two — Transmit

Imagine. Co-Create. Build.

Step into what’s next. Experiment with new tools, ways of working, and collaborative methods.

Key Focus: Agentic AI, design-led practice, emerging roles, and new models of leadership, collaboration and creation.

Promise: Walk away with practical takeaways, real connections, and momentum for what you're building.

How we do it:

"Workshops, live labs and practical provocations designed so you leave with clear ideas, useful experiments, collaborators and real momentum."

Everything is designed so you don’t just listen — you’ll leave with ideas you can apply now, practical tools to test, and people to build with afterwards.

Why Byron

Byron has long attracted visionary thinkers, creatives, entrepreneurs and innovators drawn to its connection to nature, its lifestyle and its slower pace.

The Signal is more than an event – it’s part of an ongoing effort to seed a thriving, future-facing innovation ecosystem in Byron and the Northern Rivers.
Building on the year-round community convened through The Remix, The Signal responds to the rapid shifts we’re seeing in Byron’s creative, business and tech landscape.

“The Signal is exactly what our region needs. Thinkers, Builders, and Leaders can come together, not just to share ideas, but to design, prototype, and reimagine what comes next'
