Sunrise Australia 2026
Sunrise is Blackbird's love letter to founders and the beautiful things they create. It’s a festival of creativity, technology, and ambition, where Australians and Kiwis come together to dream up the future.
At Sunrise, you can immerse yourself in our startup community, become a part of it, help to shape it.
What happens at Sunrise
Sunrise isn't a business conference. It's not exactly a tech event either.
It's a mirror and a myth machine. A cultural celebration where founders, operators, and creatives gather to stretch the edge of what feels possible.
In 2026, Sunrise opens a softer kind of space.
One of beauty, wonder, and emotional resonance. Not to retreat, but to dream more wildly.
We believe the future begins in the imagination.
It starts soft, strange, and dreamy, before being shaped into reality through shared energy, creativity, and action.
At Sunrise you will meet new people.
You'll be inspired by ideas and stories.
You'll learn new ways of thinking, building, and becoming.
