As we count down to the conference, we will also be revealing our three keynote speakers. The first keynote to be announced is Professor Anjum Naweed based in Adelaide at CQU’s Appleton Institute for Behavioural Science in South Australia. Anjum has co-edited books, written over 150 peer reviewed articles and obtained over $6 million in research funding, including from the Australian Research Council (ARC). Anjum is both a thematic link back to the wonderful 2025 conference in Adelaide and aligns to the regional focus of 2026. We are so lucky to have him, and our other two yet-to-be announced keynotes at UniSC courtesy of our internal ACCELERATE grant.
In keeping with our focus on regional locations, it is more than fitting our second keynote to be announced is Kristy de Salas, Professor of Information and Communication Technology and Associate Head of Research at the University of Tasmania.
Kristy is a key and leading figure in video game research, production and education in Tasmania. A prominent advocate for the local tech industry, she has held numerous leadership positions, including the Chair of Tasmanian Game Makers and a board member for various creative and technology-focused organisations. Her expertise is frequently sought by government and industry bodies, including her role as an advisor to Screen Tasmania. In addition, she is a highly respected and talented educator and mentor. DiGRAA 2026 is very lucky to be able to host Professor de Salas, and the other keynotes, courtesy for our internal ACCELERATE grant.
Our final keynote to be revealed is Mr Dylan Bennett, multi AGDA award winner, Founder and Director of Larrikin Interactive and the CEO of the Array, Darwin’s home for digital creatives. The Array has partnered with Flinders University, Central Queensland University and Charles Darwin University and Dylan will explore how regional video game industries and actors can be integral to research.
