West Tech Assemblage 2025

Digital Access & Inclusion: Bringing Communities Together

 

10 am – 6 pm | Thursday 20th February 2025
Hosted by City of Stirling

25 Cedric Street, Stirling Western Australia 6021

Celebrating our 10th year, join us at the City of Stirling for West Tech Assemblage 2025.

West tech Assemblage is an annual event that aims to ignite discussions and inspire community led digital access and accessibility initiatives in Western Australia, to bridge the digital divide.

Bringing together industry experts and leaders from across government, the technology sector and the community sector, West Tech Assemblage 2025 will explore solutions, opportunities for digital access and accessibility, and how we can build resilient digitally connected and accessible communities.

This year, our theme Digital Access and Inclusion: Bringing Communities Together will showcase the efforts of local governments and organisations working to bridge the digital divide whilst enhancing accessibility for marginalized communities.

The conference will explore how organisations are partnering with the community using digital technology to create inclusive spaces, ensure equal access, and improve the lives of community members.

Expect:

  • Engaging panel discussions with leaders in local government and tech innovation
  • Case studies on groundbreaking initiatives that make a real difference
  • Opportunities to connect, collaborate, and contribute to a more equitable digital future

Whether you’re a local government official, a tech innovator, or a passionate advocate for accessibility, this is a must-attend event.

Testimonials

Hon Ken Wyatt Speaker at West Tech Assemblage

Hon Ken Wyatt AM, MP

Minister for Indigenous Australians

“As more essential services move to a digital first model, the need to improve digital literacy and skills is growing, particularly for groups including older Australians, people on low incomes, people with disabilities and Indigenous Australians.”

WTA Speakers 2020 Hon Stephen Dawson MLC

Hon Stephen Dawson MLC

Minister for Environment; Disability Services; Electoral Affairs, Deputy Leader of the Government in the Legislative Council

“These conversations are really important, not just because they impact your organisation or you, but because they reflect the leadership that you as individuals have in advancing Western Australia’s community, whether it be economically, socially or indeed culturally. The equitable inclusion of people with disability in all aspects of business and community is imperative, particularly for the post-COVID economic and social recovery in Western Australia.”

“We cannot afford to leave people behind in our society. In the past, we may not have had the technology or access to the technology that could help to address some of these challenges. But today we do.”
