AIYD 2026

AIYD 2026

The Australia India Youth Dialogue 2026 will be held in Brisbane and Perth in July 2026.

The overarching theme is Complex Systems: Reshaping Leadership in an Age of Transformation. It explores how leadership must evolve as AI and emerging technologies reshape economic, industrial, institutional and human systems. AI is embedded across all sub-themes as the driver of transformation, not treated as a standalone topic.

We are delighted to present the delegates for AIYD 2026.
