TAC 2026 SESSION SPOTLIGHT 
Two more sessions to add to your Ticketing Australia Conference schedule!

Australia: Feature, Not a Bug
Australia’s ticketing industry often defines itself by its challenges - but what if those same characteristics are actually our greatest opportunity? Nick Falzon (InTown) explores how our unique market conditions create fertile ground for collaboration, innovation, and audience cultivation across ticketing, live experiences, tourism and technology - with global examples for context.

What Are You Looking At? The Data Driving Decisions
We all have access to more data than ever, but which numbers actually matter? Hear from leaders across sport, performing arts and live entertainment as they share the metrics, reports and insights driving real decisions. Join facilitator Angela Higgins (Antix Management) alongside panel speakers Brenton Anthony (Cricket Australia), Jerry Hodgins (Melbourne Theatre Company), and Rhiannon Crowe (Live Nation APAC) for a candid, practical look at turning data into action.

📅 20–21 October | CommBank Stadium, Parramatta

Two sessions you won’t want to miss at this year’s Ticketing Australia Conference!

What Did That Post Sell? Leveraging Creators in Live Entertainment
Influencer marketing, but make it measurable.
Davey Simmons (Head of Digital & Audience) and Bella Dalrymple (Talent Partnerships Manager), both from Anthem, pull back the curtain on how Australia’s biggest live entertainment productions are turning creator content into a genuine performance channel - with sales tracked end to end.

The Audiences of 2030: Turning Insight into Action
How do we build stronger relationships with the audiences of tomorrow?
Join Charlie Whitworth and Samantha Bagwell (Business Expansion Leads, Australia & New Zealand, Spektrix) as they unpack what’s really driving audience behaviour - and share practical, global-informed strategies for removing barriers, deepening engagement, and building a thriving cultural sector.

Excited to reveal the first 3 sessions for TAC 2026!

Opening Keynote: Adam Spencer (sponsored by Tessitura)
One of Australia’s most dynamic minds takes the TAC stage - 25 years in radio, TV and live events, now a leading voice on AI, cyber security and the future of work. Laughs guaranteed, takeaways guaranteed.

More Than a Festival of Footy
AFL’s Tom Nickson & Amy Blake unpack how Gather Round grew from a fixture innovation into a major destination event - spanning football, tourism, hospitality and community activation, and how ticketing strategy and fan behaviour evolved right alongside it.

Regional Venue Round Table
NAPACA Co-Chairs Patrice Rielly & Karly Mejlak lead an open, collaborative discussion on the unique opportunities facing regional venues - a space for venue professionals to share experiences, celebrate successes, and explore practical solutions together. Fresh perspectives, honest conversation, and valuable insights to take back to your own venue.
