You can if it’s advertised as such. ‘Delegate only’ sessions apply only to delegates registered for a single day or three days. There are however some keynotes, workshops and spaces that will be available to the public and all will be marked as ‘Open to the Public’ where appropriate. This includes the exhibition floor at the Art Gallery of WA, exhibits at PICA and at the Kaos Theatre and Beer & Board Games at Studio Startup.

All venues except Studio Startup are wheelchair accessible. We are however not able to provide Auslan to most sessions but will where possible. Please contact us should you wish to discuss further.
We’ll be having as much diversity of content as possible. There’ll be playable games, VR experiences dealing with educational and training, experiences from the CSIRO and other science-based organisations, medicine and research, emergency responding and art and architecture. It’s perfect for those wanting to explore career opportunities or talk directly with people working in the field.
