About FoBA
The 2026 IIBA Skills Development Group Festival of Business Analysis (FoBA) is the leading event for Business Analysts and IT delivery professionals in the region, focused on moving beyond busy work and towards outcomes that genuinely move organisations forward.
In a world shaped by constant change, AI, automation and rapidly evolving technology, traditional ways of working are no longer enough. FoBA 2026 explores how professionals can adapt their skills and approaches, strengthen strategic thinking and apply business analysis tools and techniques to meet the demands of today's environment.
The 2026 theme, Adapt. Align. Accelerate., focuses on:
- Adapt – Evolve your skills, mindset and approach. Use insight, data and analysis to understand complex problems before rushing to solutions.
- Align – Connect strategy, people and delivery. Facilitate the right conversations, influence priorities and focus effort on what creates the most value.
- Accelerate – Build momentum through strategic decision-making, purposeful use of techniques and modern ways of working. Focus not on doing more, but on doing what matters.
FoBA brings together professionals working across business analysis, technology and IT delivery to explore practical approaches to navigating complexity, making better decisions and delivering meaningful outcomes.
