Aus Gov Data Summit 2027

9-11 March 2027 | National Convention Centre, Canberra

ADIA is proud to continue supporting the 13th Annual Aus Gov Data Summit for the third consecutive year. The premier gathering for Australia’s government data professionals, the Summit will be on again in Canberra from 9-11 March, 2027.

ADIA is also pleased to share that CEO Sarah Campbell has been invited to join the advisory board for the 2027 Summit. This is a genuine opportunity for ADIA and our members to have a voice at the table with government agencies and the APS in shaping how data and AI adoption progresses across the public sector. Sarah is looking forward to working alongside fellow advisory board members in shaping a program that genuinely supports government agencies navigating this space.

Partnerships between government and industry are essential to getting data governance and AI adoption right – bringing together practical, on-the-ground experience with the policy and public value lens that government brings.
