We welcome applicants from all parts of the quantum ecosystem. For vendor companies (consultancies, solution providers, etc.) wishing to speak at the event, there may be sponsorship opportunities available.
Selection:
- Filling the application does NOT guarantee your participation in the Quantum Australia Conference as a speaker.
- Your application will be reviewed by the QAC programming committee, made up of senior academic leaders, industry experts and QAC executives.
- There are many elements which come into play when designing a conference program including diversity of speakers, content flow, balance of sessions, sponsor commitments and more.
- This means that the result of this application is not a reflection on you or your work.
- Applications close 31st January, however, we are actively working on the program, so applications will be reviewed periodically as they are submitted.
- We invite you to apply as a speaker, keeping in mind that the selection outcome is based primarily on program fit.
- As the program and speakers evolve, so too may the requirements. If you’re not selected up front, we may get in touch out closer to the event.
The audience:
- The audience will be a mix of industry, students, academics, and government – some that have an advanced knowledge of quantum and others that are quantum curious:
- We have the ability to host a number of stages across the two days, so welcome session proposals across the audience cohorts.
- Attendees are joining us to learn, not be sold to. Please no pitches and/or selling.
- Our audience will expect you to show up – so please ensure you have availability and the relevant approvals before applying.
Benefits:
- We welcome speakers from overseas and interstate and have some funds set aside for travel – please ask us if you need help to come to Brisbane.
- Unfortunately, we are unable to cover speaker fees due to the volume of participants required.
- As a speaker you will receive a complimentary pass to the Quantum Australia Conference
Other key info:
- Please keep both the 25 & 26 March 2025 free – the program has many moving parts, so we won’t be able to commit to a specific time until we get closer.
- We also won’t be able to confirm which stage/stream you will be presenting on until closer to the event.
- The Quantum Australia Conference is running at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.
