Thank you for being part of the Foresighting Forum 2027, hosted by Energy Consumers Australia (ECA). We know presenters are busy, so this page brings together everything you need in one place; what to do and by when.
If at any time you have queries about the forum or your involvement, please reach out to the team via email.
About the event
Foresighting Forum brings together energy consumers, advocates, industry, policymakers and regulators to look ahead at the future of Australia's energy system and what it means for the households and small businesses at the heart of it. Across the program, you can expect keynotes, panels and in-depth discussion on the ideas, policy settings and innovations shaping a better energy future for consumers.
Dates: Wednesday 24 – Thursday 25 February 2027
Venue: Sofitel Sydney Wentworth, 61–101 Phillip Street, Sydney NSW 2000
Before the event
Forum Program
The full program is still being finalised, please find the latest details on our event page.
Our forum team will confirm your exact slot, format (solo presentation, fireside or panel) and running time directly with you.
As a guide, all presenters are asked to be onsite no later than the break before their scheduled time slot, to allow for a short briefing and to test any necessary AV.
Presenter registration
All presenters are required to register for the forum, even if you're only attending for your session. This lets us capture dietary requirements, accessibility needs and any other arrangements, and makes sure you're on the AV team's list for the day.
Presenter registration is complimentary and includes a ticket to the networking function at the conclusion of sessions on Wednesday 24 February 2027 at 5:30pm - 7:30pm.
Registration required by no later than 31 December 2026. Click here to register.
During the registration process, you will be asked to upload a high-resolution headshot and a short bio (100–150 words). These will be used to promote your involvement in the program via ECA's channels and in the forum app.
If anything changes after you register (dietary needs, an extra guest, accommodation, accessibility requirements), you can log in to your profile to update your details, or contact the team via email.
Briefing call
In the lead-up to the forum, a member of our program team will schedule a short, compulsory briefing call with you (one-on-one, or as a small group if you're on a panel). This is your chance to align on the details before the day itself, so there are no surprises.
We'll cover:
- Your session format, running time and where it sits in the program
- A run-through of your key talking points or draft slides
- Any AV, staging or technical requirements (video, audio, props, etc.)
- Panel-specific logistics, if applicable (moderator, other panellists, question flow)
- Any questions you have for the organising committee
We'll reach out directly to arrange a time that suits you. After your briefing call, you'll receive session notes covering the agreed approach and any further discussion points.
Promote your involvement
Being a presenter or panellist at Foresighting Forum 2027 is a great platform. We'd love to help promote your session and give you material to share with your own network, too. Below is some suggested copy you can use or tweak as needed.
Option A: Ready to go
I'm proud to be taking part in Foresighting Forum 2027, hosted by Energy Consumers Australia, on 24–25 February 2027 in Sydney.
Consumers, advocates, industry and policymakers don't often sit around the same table with a shared agenda. This forum does that, and in doing so it turns big-picture conversations about the energy transition into the practical thinking that shapes better outcomes for households and businesses: fairer prices, greater reliability, and a system built around the people who actually rely on it.
Decisions being made now will define how Australians experience energy for a generation. Getting a consumer voice into those decisions is why this Forum matters for the whole sector.
I'm looking forward to being part of the conversation!
