And that’s a wrap, together26!
For everyone who attended the Telstra Enterprise event series, thank you! together26 has been built on partnerships and it was great to see that sentiment brought to life.
At its core, together26 demonstrated how we are building a better-connected digital future, so all Australians can thrive. It also allowed us to showcase our strategy and what makes us a valuable partner for businesses.
The many customers that attended, the 55 speakers that explored some of the most pressing topics facing our industry and the many cities we visited (Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney) all helped to make it a very memorable occasion.
Here’s some of the most important topics we discussed, why they matter and how they might help your business, now or in the future.

Connectivity can mean many things, depending on the work you do, the industry you’re in or even the place you live. Throughout together26, attendees saw firsthand how it underpins the way organisations grow, compete and adapt in a rapidly changing landscape. Across the keynotes, Telstra leaders and experts explored the Connected Future 30 strategy, grounded in three core pillars: Customer Experience, Network as a Product and Digital Infrastructure. These sessions explored how businesses can scale and innovate through networks, with Telstra supporting them as a partner as they navigate AI and other emerging technologies.
Unsurprisingly, one of the most popular topics was AI. A clear takeaway was the shift in the conversation. It’s moved away from AI hype and towards AI accountability with a focus on the value the technology can offer. The challenge isn’t speed, it’s how speed can impact leadership, risk and decision making. In a thought-provoking session, Dayle Stevens shared Telstra’s own journey with AI, including what’s worked, what hasn’t and what we’ve learned along the way. Mike Walsh, global futurist, challenged customers to consider what kind of future they hope to build and who they trust to build it, with a strong emphasis on acting with intent and responsibility.
Attendees experienced how our network is evolving into a programmable, intelligent platform they can shape around their own business needs. From the Adaptive Networks Centre to Adaptive Collaboration, Dynamic 5G and IoT to Satellite Messaging, together26 brought these innovations to life through a series of interactive demonstrations.
These hands-on experiences stood out as a key highlight, giving customers the opportunity to engage directly with the technology. At their core, they showed what businesses can expect: scale they can rely on, security that’s built in and connectivity that adapts.
together26 wouldn’t be possible without the very customers who choose Telstra Enterprise as their trusted partner. We heard from a variety of customers and their stories, including the AFL and Marvel Stadium explaining how they work with Telstra to power better fan experiences as well as South Australia Police discussing how the partnership empowers over 7,000 officers and staff to truly work from anywhere.
