A First Nations-led two-day forum to ensure First Nations people, communities and businesses don’t get left behind in the Kimberley's accelerated clean energy transition starts today.

The First Nations Clean Energy Network and the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation (ILSC) are excited to invite you to the 2026 First Nations Clean Energy Symposium, hosted on Wadawurrung Country, Djilang (Geelong, Victoria).

The First Nations Clean Energy Symposium, Australia's only First Nations-led annual national event, brings together Traditional Owners, leaders and communities with investors, policy makers, industry and government to collaborate.

This year, we reflect on the incredible work being led by our communities here and internationally, celebrate five years of the First Nations Clean Energy Network, and take action on what's next.

• Date: 18 (Welcome Reception), 19 & 20 August 2026
• Venue: Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre
• Location: 80 Western Beach Rd, Geelong VIC

Together, we'll focus on what it takes to deliver real outcomes, from equity and co-ownership to stronger agreements, policy, and investment grounded in community priorities and leadership. We'll listen, share knowledge, and build on the work we're doing together.

With two days of powerful conversations, practical case studies, and opportunities to connect, this is where relationships are built and the next phase of action takes shape.
