Social Events
At QStrata 2026, we believe that networking and relationship-building are just as important as formal learning. That’s why we have planned a series of engaging social events throughout the conference.
You can sign up for these events during the registration process. If you have already registered and would like to attend a social event, please email the conference organisers at events.qld@strata.community.

StrataConnect: Exhibitor Networking
Kick off your conference experience at our very first QStrata gathering, held on the Wednesday before the official program begins. StrataConnect offers a warm and welcoming space to meet fellow delegates, reconnect with familiar faces, and start building new relationships. Wander through the lively exhibition hall, chat with exhibitors, and enjoy relaxed conversations with peers as you ease into the conference atmosphere. It’s the perfect social opener – informal, engaging, and designed to set the tone for the days ahead.
