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 to shape the ventures, models and roles of tomorrow.

Key Focus: Agentic AI, design-led practice, emerging roles, and new approaches to leadership, collaboration, and venture creation.

Promise: Walk away with practical takeaways, meaningful connections, and fresh momentum for the ideas, projects, roles, and ventures you're ready to build.

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 drawn visionary thinkers, creatives, entrepreneurs and technologists, attracted by its connection to nature, its lifestyle and its slower pace.

But until now, there has been little to bring them together in shared purpose.

The Signal is part of a growing effort to seed a thriving, future-facing innovation ecosystem in Byron and the Northern Rivers.
‍
It responds to the rapid shifts reshaping the region’s creative, business and tech landscape. It creates space to connect, imagine what’s next and build it here, together.

“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'
