What to Expect

From clarity to action. Make sense of the shifts. Find your people. Build what’s next.

Day One — Tune In

Question. Reframe. Understand.

What’s changing and why does it matter? From AI to energy, education, and finance, emerging technologies are reshaping how we live, work, and connect.
Make sense of what it means for you, your work, and your community.

Key Focus: Ethics, risks, opportunities, and the big questions. How to navigate what’s shifting and why it matters.

Promise: Leave with a clear map of what’s emerging and what your place is in it.

Day Two — Transmit

Imagine. Co-Create. Build.

What are the new businesses, what roles and skills are needed, where are we headed, how can we build new ventures and opportunities?

Key Focus: New ventures, emerging roles, and the tools, models and mindsets shaping what’s next, from agentic AI to creative technologies, collaborative methods and design approaches.

Promise: Leave with tools, connections and space to celebrate local success in AI and emerging tech. Make sense of how we adapt in our work, our roles and our inner lives.

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, entreprneurs and innovation drawn to its connection to nature, its lifestyle and its slower pace.

Thie Signal is more than an event – it’s part of an ongoing effort to seed a thriving, future-facing innovation ecosystem in 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'
