The Australian Smart Communities Summit 2026 brought together local government, industry, academia and community leaders at Bunjil Place, City of Casey, from 14–16 October 2026 to explore the theme “Adding Value in the Age of Disruption”.

Across three days, more than 110 delegates and 20+ speakers shared ideas, practical insights and innovative approaches to building smarter, more resilient and inclusive communities across Australia. From thought-provoking discussions on scaling smart city impact and inclusive community engagement to exploring what lies ahead for smart cities in 2030 and beyond, the Summit celebrated the power of collaboration and the value of working together to deliver meaningful outcomes for our communities.

The program featured pre-Summit workshops, inspiring speaker sessions, networking opportunities, a networking dinner and a City of Casey Study Tour, providing valuable opportunities to connect, exchange ideas and showcase innovation in action.

Hosted by the Australian Smart Communities Association and the City of Casey, the Summit was a celebration of what we can achieve together to create smarter, more connected and resilient communities.

We look forward to continuing the conversation and seeing you at future ASCA events!
