The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Oceania will make its Industry Forum debut at Integrate 2026, joining Australia’s leading AV trade show at ICC Sydney from 2–4 September.

The forum will run on the afternoon of 3 September, bringing together the media technology community for an afternoon of insights, discussion and knowledge sharing.

As the industry continues to navigate the shift to streaming, AI-driven innovation and multiplatform delivery, the forum is designed to create genuine industry dialogue around the issues shaping the future of media technology in the region. It will be accessible to professionals across the sector, from students and emerging talent through to senior leaders, offering attendees insight into where the industry is heading and how they can help shape its direction.

The program will also provide an opportunity to hear about advocacy and education initiatives underway across the industry, while connecting with peers and contributing to broader conversations beyond individual businesses.

“The SMPTE Forum at Integrate represents an important moment for the Oceania media technology community. By bringing the right people into the room and creating space for real conversation, we can address the issues that matter and build momentum as a community,” SMOTE chair – Asia-Pacific Evdoxia Brownlow says.
