IIBA Festival of Business Analysis

Next edition: coming October 2026

The Festival of Business Analysis is the region’s leading event for Business Analysts and IT Project Delivery Professionals passionate about creating better business outcomes. Hosted by IIBA Australia and IIBA New Zealand, the festival celebrates the people, ideas, and practices that drive meaningful change across organisations of all sizes and industries.

Each October, the event brings together practitioners, thought leaders, and industry experts to connect, share insights, and explore the evolving role of business analysis in shaping the future of work. The festival offers a program designed to inspire and equip professionals at every career stage, from emerging analysts to experienced consultants and leaders driving transformation.

In 2025, the festival ran over two weeks, combining a week of virtual learning with in-person events across seven cities. Guided by the theme Rethink. Reconnect. Revolutionise., participants attended keynote presentations, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities that highlighted innovation, impact, and community connection.
