Black Swan Summit Australia — Building the Next Economy
This summit assembles a vibrant, global community of innovators, technologists, policymakers and investors to confront high-impact challenges and seize opportunities born from disruption. With more than 1 500 international participants, 100+ speakers, 50+ exhibitors and sponsors from 50+ countries, the summit crafts a fertile ground for collaboration among pioneers in Web3 (AI, DLT, IoT, Quantum), Climate Tech and sustainable digital infrastructure.

Over three days in Perth, the program blends visionary keynote talks, immersive workshops, lab-tours, roundtables and demos — creating hands-on opportunities to explore and pilot real solutions in digital assets, quantum computing, ethical AI, climate technologies and green infrastructure. Attendees range from cutting-edge startups to large enterprises, regulators to academics, united by a shared mission: to shape a carbon-neutral, resilient digital economy that can survive and thrive in a volatile world. 

The Summit is more than a conference: it’s a global foresight laboratory where ideas meet capital, regulation meets innovation, and ambition meets concrete action. It offers a unique chance to co-design pilots, influence policy, access investable ventures, and build strategic alliances for long-term growth — all under the roof of the historic Winthrop Hall at University of Western Australia, in the heart of Perth’s emerging green-tech and Web3 ecosystem.
