ACT Minister's Breakfast 2026

3 Nov, 2026 |

7:15am - 9:30am |

QT Canberra

The 2026 ACT Industry Breakfast theme is "The Transformative Power of Artificial Intelligence in the Water Industry." Join us for an insightful discussion featuring a panel by key decision makers in Canberra.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we work, unlocking transformative opportunities across the water sector. From intelligent infrastructure to advanced analytics, it enables smarter operations, real-time decision-making, and more efficient, adaptive use of resources.

The 2026 Ministers Breakfast will highlight AI’s potential to enhance asset management, optimise water use and treatment, and reshape workforce practices. It will also examine broader impacts on the ACT, including the infrastructure required to support AI, such as data centres, and the need for a coordinated policy and regulatory response.

Join us to explore the opportunities, challenges, and practical benefits of AI as it continues to redefine the future of water.

Speakers
Suzanne Orr MLA, Minister for Climate Change, Environment, Energy and Water
Chris Seysener, General Manager - AI Strategy and Transformation, Atturra
Tony Pollock, Chief Digital and Information Officer, Icon Water
Lucy Hovanec, APAC Business Advisory Leader, GHD
