Welcome to EECON 2026 – ENERGY UNPLUGGED

We are delighted to invite you to EECON 2026, the Electric Energy Society of Australia’s premier annual conference, taking place 10–11 November 2026 at Brisbane’s Royal International Convention Centre.

This year’s theme, “Energy Unplugged: Data, Decarbonisation and Decentralisation,” will bring together industry leaders, innovators, and practitioners to explore the accelerating transformation of Australia’s electric energy landscape. Across two immersive days, we will unpack the technologies, strategies, and real‑world projects shaping our evolving energy ecosystem.

EECON 2026 goes beyond high‑level discussion to focus on what actually works. Delegates will gain insights into actionable solutions, proven methodologies, and practical pathways advancing our national transition toward a sustainable, affordable and reliable energy future.
