PIA WA

What is the city but the people? That’s the question at the heart of this year’s PIA WA State Conference.

This August, join planners from across Western Australia for a day of thought-provoking discussions, practical learning and networking. 

We’re also excited to announce our first keynote speaker, Gihan Perera, futurist, author and AI researcher. Gihan explores how artificial intelligence, emerging technologies and shifting societal expectations are transforming the way we live and work. His keynote will challenge delegates to consider what these changes mean for planning practice today and into the future.

21 August 2026, 8.30am - 7.00pm at Curtin University, Perth. 
See you there!
