Humanitech Summit 2024

Tuesday 19 – Wednesday 20 November 2024
State Library Victoria & Telstra Customer Insight Centre (CIC), Melbourne

Australian Red Cross Humanitech’s flagship event at the intersection of technology and humanitarian action.

Supported by founding partner the Telstra Foundation, this free event runs over two days in Melbourne. Building upon years of local to global collaboration and innovation, the 2024 Humanitech Summit will explore how humanitarian impact can be scaled through technology innovation:

  • How can we leverage our collective resources to ensure a more resilient future for our communities?
  • What does it take to pursue responsible, ethical and inclusive innovation as we scale?
  • Whose voices and leadership do we need to foster and amplify and how?
  • What are the models and funding approaches to achieve this work at scale?

The 2024 Summit is poised to challenge thinking, foster collaboration and ignite action.
