CALL FOR SPEAKERS

The Quantum Australia Conference 2025 will bring together world-leading quantum researchers, businesses, government decision-makers, startups, and big tech to share the latest developments and ideas in this rapidly evolving field.


About the Quantum Australia Conference

This year, Quantum Australia Conference will take place on March 25-26 at the Brisbane Convention Centre, with an Ecosystem Day on March 27 hosted across the University of Queensland, Griffith University and the University of Southern Queensland.

Funded by the Commonwealth Government’s Department of Industry, Science and Resources, along with support from state governments and 13 university partners, Quantum Australia serves as a consortium connecting every part of Australia’s quantum ecosystem, including industry, academia, and start-ups.

The Quantum Australia Conference offers industry, academics, government and students the opportunity to engage and understand the translational side of Quantum.

Program highlights

The conference program will cover world leading research along side emerging industry applications and case studies and the essential roles of both private and public sectors in advancing quantum technology. Through inspiring keynotes, focused panel discussions, and networking opportunities, delegates will explore quantum’s evolving role in fields ranging from business and research to societal impacts and policy.

The third day, Ecosystem Day, will highlight the strength of Brisbane’s academic community by engaging attendees at three leading universities, facilitating deeper connections between students, researchers, and industry experts.
