Australia 2026 speakers¶
We’re excited to announce the lineup of speakers and talks for our australia 2026 conference! A huge thank you to everyone who submitted a proposal as this conference wouldn’t be possible without your contributions.
Each year, we curate a diverse range of voices to share insights from our community. As the role of “documentarian” varies greatly among us, we aim for topics that cover practical, philosophical, and technical ideas, with a touch of whimsy for good measure:
Fabrizio Ferri-Benedetti: Protecting docs taste at scale
Ben Fairless: Ten thousand votes, no side taken
Eeshaan Sawant: Built to be Left Behind…
Frances Liu: What AI agents get wrong when writing docs
Selva: Continuous docs, continuous governance
Tristan Bunn: The LMS as a Build Target: Shifting the Source of Truth to a Publishing Pipeline
Julian Fleetwood: 11,000 changes and growing: how content design architected release comms at scale
Tom Johnson: Building SKILLs to help automate internal authoring workflows
Yvonne Perkins: Acronyms, humour and navigating the unclear path
Claire Mahoney: AI Way or the Highway: What remains when everyone can write the docs?
Lana Brindley (she/her): Help! I accidentally built a publishing platform!
Janeera D A: What your search bar knows that your surveys don’t: building a docs roadmap from search data
