That’s a wrap, Sydney.

A snapshot of the conversations, connections and moments from the day.
A day worth remembering
Moments from Catalyst 2026 at Sydney Swans HQ, Moore Park.
What Catalyst Was
Most industry events are thinly disguised vendor pitches. Catalyst was built to be the opposite.
A single day of real conversations, peer-to-peer learning and honest insights from people who are actually doing the work in the MSP and IT services space.
No product demos. No sponsored sessions. Just people sharing what is actually working.
What we covered
Ten sessions built around the conversations MSPs actually need to have.

Giving Back
Catalyst was always about more than the day itself.
Every ticket sold was a direct donation. Together, the Catalyst community raised $10,000 for Plate It Forward, an organisation dedicated to providing meals to those in need while creating employment opportunities for people facing barriers.
Your attendance did not just invest in your own learning. It made a real difference to the people Plate It Forward serves every day.
Thank you, Sydney.
To our speakers, co-organisers, and everyone who showed up ready to have an honest conversation about where this industry is heading.
