Dr Karl, fresh ideas and mystery boxes. Here’s what we got up to at LGIT 2026 in Coffs Harbour.
If you’ve come home from LGIT 2026 with a head full of ideas and a bag full of conference merch, we hope we contributed to both.
We were back in Coffs Harbour as gold sponsors for another year of the Local Government Information Technology Conference. This time, Pacific Bay Resort played host from 4–6 November, bringing council IT professionals from across Australia together for three days of learning, catching up and comparing notes.
Stopped by our stand but didn’t get to finish the conversation? Give us a shout. There’s only so much you can squeeze into a tea break!
It’s not every week your calendar includes a keynote from Dr Karl Kruszelnicki AM.
Dr Karl’s session, Great Moments in AI, was part of a packed program with plenty to get people thinking beyond their usual inbox and to-do list.
Four-time World Para Surfing Champion Sam Bloom also took to the stage with her keynote, Heartache and Birdsong, sharing her remarkable story.
Alongside the keynotes, council case studies and practical sessions covered everything from AI adoption to data governance and helping staff get more out of technology.
That’s a big part of why we keep coming back to LGIT. You get to hear how other councils are tackling familiar challenges, swap experiences and take a few new ideas home.
Over at our stand, we were joined by our friends from Veeam and LastPass, with demo gear from Apple, Jabra and Commbox for visitors to check out.
We figured everyone’s had enough of collecting keychains and disposable cups that leak, so this year we brought something a little more fun: our limited edition Cloud Context mystery boxes, packed with goodies. Move over, Labubus.
We also launched our virtual Spin & Win, with free assessments, prepaid support hours and more up for grabs. We hope everyone enjoyed their prizes and went home with something they’ll actually want to keep.
To everyone who stopped for a chat, checked out a demo or tried their luck on the wheel, thanks for spending some of your LGIT 2026 with us.
And a big thank you to the organisers and the City of Coffs Harbour for another great event. Getting this many IT people away from their desks is an achievement in itself.
We’re already looking forward to next year. In the meantime, if there’s a question, project or conversation you’d like to revisit, get in touch with our team.
Got questions, ideas, or just want to chat? We'd love to hear from you! Reach out to us anytime, and we'll get back to you with all the help and information you need.
