About This Event
The Schools Technology Forum 2026 brings together ICT leaders from across the sector for a day of professional learning, discussion and networking.
This year's forum provides an opportunity to connect with peers, share experiences, and explore current challenges and opportunities facing schools and ICT teams.
The program will feature a mix of strategic, technical and operational topics relevant to today's ICT leaders, including:
- AI Agents in IT Orchestration
- Ubiquiti UniFi at Ormiston College
- Picking Your Security Framework
- Tracking Staff Meetings and PD Sessions
- Citipointe Christian College's Zero Networks Project
- Update on the ISQ Compliance Management System
Gayle Pacchini will present Know Your Brain, Amplify Your Impact: Technical mastery gets you a long way in IT, then the real ceiling shows up: the people and influence side of the role that no certification or framework ever taught you. Know Your Brain, Amplify Your Impact is an energising, hands-on session where you'll uncover your own thinking style through a live group discovery moment and small group work, and walk away with a practical, personal takeaway for the one person you currently find hardest to lead, influence or work alongside.
These sessions reflect a mix of current projects, emerging technologies and practical challenges being explored by ICT teams across the sector.
Whether you're a long-time attendee or joining for the first time, Schools Technology Forum 2026 offers a valuable opportunity to connect with colleagues, gain fresh perspectives, and take away practical ideas to support your work and leadership.
