The Pivot is for people who want to understand where business, technology, work and opportunity are moving next — and position themselves accordingly. Founders, professionals, students, creatives, public-sector leaders, institutions and ambitious people across industries are welcome. You do not need to own a business or work in technology to benefit; you only need to be ready to learn, connect and act on what you discover.
Expect more than a day of speeches. The Pivot is built around practical conversations, live demonstrations, mentoring, exhibitions and meaningful networking with people shaping business, technology and opportunity across the region. Depending on your ticket, you can unlock deeper access to selected experiences, resources and people — so you leave with more than inspiration: new knowledge, stronger relationships and clearer next moves.
The Digital Marketplace is The Pivot's exhibition and discovery space where businesses, technologies and solutions can be seen, experienced and discussed by a live audience of founders, professionals, investors, institutions, public-sector leaders and potential customers. It is built for organisations that want more than logo placement — it gives you a chance to demonstrate what you do, start real conversations, generate leads and build relationships around your product or solution.

Legacy Circle is an intimate, high-value networking experience designed to bring Elite delegates closer to keynote speakers, mentors, industry leaders, government officials and other influential guests in a more personal setting. It is where the room gets smaller, the conversations get deeper, and introductions can become relationships, partnerships and opportunities. Access is included with the Elite conference ticket.
