LaborEngaged’26 Gallery

Alongside the 2026 ALP National Conference in Adelaide, LaborEngaged’26 brought together people from across the labour movement for three packed days.

This year’s program was our biggest yet! Covering everything from housing, climate and the future of work to gender equality, First Nations policy, AI, and the future of social democracy. Unions, think tanks, community organisations, advocates, academics, politicians and party members came together to share ideas, discuss and debate some of the biggest questions facing our movement and our country. There were report and book launches, live podcasts, packed panels and plenty of conversations that continued well after sessions finished.

A huge thank you to all the organisations and speakers who took part, everyone who came along to a session, and particularly our volunteers who kept more than 60 events running across three very busy days.

Here are some of our favourite moments from LaborEngaged’26.
