About the event
Foresighting Forum is the only national energy conference centred on the people whose decisions matter most to Australia’s energy future: households and small businesses.
Under the theme Leading the charge, the 2027 Forum brings together policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, researchers and consumer advocates for practical, outcome-focused discussion on delivering an affordable, reliable and equitable energy transition. The program is anchored in ECA’s seven consumer outcome targets.
Dates: Wednesday 24 – Thursday 25 February 2027
Venue: Sofitel Sydney Wentworth, 61–101 Phillip Street, Sydney NSW 2000
More than 250 leaders, decision-makers and innovators from across Australia will be in the room, spanning energy networks, retailers and generators; government and market bodies (including the AER, AEMC and DCCEEW); researchers and academics; funded consumer advocates and First Nations representatives; and not-for-profit and community organisations.
Delegates travel from every state and territory, so you’ll be in front of the audience your package was built to reach.

Option 2
We're proud to be sponsoring Foresighting Forum 2027, hosted by Energy Consumers Australia, on 24–25 February 2027 in Sydney.
Foresighting Forum is where the energy sector steps back from the mechanics of the system to focus on what the transition actually delivers for households and small businesses. Over two days, policymakers, regulators, industry leaders and researchers will work alongside the consumer advocates whose lived experience grounds every discussion.
It's a rare chance to build shared understanding, forge relationships and leave with a sharper sense of what good looks like, with connections that carry forward into year-round collaboration. We're proud to help make it happen!
