As a leading West Australian professional learning event, EduFest WA is designed to empower educators with practical strategies, fresh ideas and tangible tools to design learning experiences that prepare our next generation of learners with the skills they need to thrive in an ever changing future.
With a calendar of professional learning events taking place across Western Australia in 2026, EduFest WA brings together forward thinking educators, industry leaders and community partners to explore what innovative and impactful learning looks like for the next generation. Across each event, attendees will develop their skills, explore practical strategies to implement in the classroom and develop a future focused learning experience, initiative or unit ready to take back to their school community.

Today’s students are growing up in a world shaped by rapid technological change, shifting expectations and entirely new ways of learning and working. For educators, this raises an important question. How do we design learning experiences that remain engaging, impactful and capable of preparing young people for a future that continues to evolve at a rapid pace?
EduFest WA exists to create a space for educators to explore that question in practical ways. Rather than simply discussing what is changing, the day is designed to help attendees respond to it by building ideas, strengthening skills and designing learning experiences that better connect with the students in front of them.
