West Tech Fest Is Heading Back To Rottnest

It’s that time of year again — West Tech Fest is officially on everyone’s minds, with earlybird festival passes now available. For founders, investors, and anyone embedded in WA’s startup and tech scene, snapping up a festival pass isn’t just about saving money; it’s about access, priority, and making sure you’re in the room when the right conversations are happening. Earlybird pricing delivers significant discounts over individual ticket purchases, with festival pass holders able to bypass queues and move between sessions without hassle.

Those looking to level up can opt for a VIP Festival Pass, which comes with access to a premium VIP room at West Tech Main, exclusive networking, priority access, and this year’s limited-edition West Tech Fest merchandise.

West Tech Wadjemup returns to Rottnest

It’s been a couple of years since Rotto Tech Fest last featured on the West Tech Fest lineup, but by popular demand, it’s back — this time as West Tech Wadjemup. For a lot of regulars, Wadjemup is the event that strips things back (pun somewhat intended) and gets people talking about what matters, away from the usual city buzz and polished pitches. The day wraps with the Out of Office: Offshore Edition after party at Pinky’s, where the sand, sunset, and, inevitably, a few quokkas, set the scene for an only-in-WA networking experience.
