Summary

blueAPACHE's events page lists the company's in-person events, webinars, roundtables and industry sessions. It currently carries one programme: the OUTCOME 2026: Outpace Change national roadshow in October 2026, with dates in Melbourne (Thursday 8 October, MCG), Sydney (Thursday 15 October, Ivy Sunroom) and Brisbane (Tuesday 20 October, The Calile Hotel), each 11:30am to 4:00pm AEST, complimentary and in person. The past events list is empty. This page indexes the roadshow and its three city pages, gives the full speaker list, explains what differs between the cities, and links to the services the programme relates to.

Key facts

Upcoming events

OUTCOME 2026: Outpace Change. The roadshow overview: the national launch of "Managed Services. Re-engineered." and the introduction of IT Operations Excellence as a Service, with a keynote from CEO Michael Zuppa, a leadership session from Brad Twynham, a customer innovation story from CXC Global, seven partner sessions and a closing executive panel. The full timed agenda and complete speaker list are on that page.

OUTCOME 2026: Melbourne. Thursday 8 October 2026, MCG, Brunton Avenue, Richmond. The opening date and the one with a four-person executive panel.

OUTCOME 2026: Sydney. Thursday 15 October 2026, Ivy Sunroom, Level 3, 330 George Street. The only date with Sean Stitt of Huntress on the security session.

OUTCOME 2026: Brisbane. Tuesday 20 October 2026, The Calile Hotel, 48 James Street, Fortitude Valley. The closing date, and the only one on a Tuesday.

Who should attend

The origin events page describes the sessions as designed to help organisations navigate change, explore emerging technologies and make informed decisions. The roadshow narrows that to technology leaders and IT decision makers interested in scaling operations without scaling headcount, what AI-ready means beyond the hype, security as an operating standard rather than a project, how human risk management is reshaping cyber resilience, and operational maturity as a competitive advantage. blueAPACHE describes the day as a conversation about modern IT leadership rather than a technology conference.

Speakers across the roadshow

The ControlUp, Mimecast and Microsoft sessions are listed without a named speaker.

Which city to choose

The agenda, timings, venue format and cost are the same in all three cities, so for most attendees the choice is simply the nearest date. Three differences are worth knowing if a particular session is the reason for going.

• The HPE networking session changes brief. Melbourne hears James Deane on modern networking as the foundation of connected, resilient operations. Sydney and Brisbane hear Zohar Cohen on how AI is changing networking. They are different talks, not the same talk delivered twice.
• The Huntress security speaker changes. Adam Maloney presents in Melbourne and Brisbane; Sean Stitt presents in Sydney.
• The executive panel is bigger in Melbourne. Michael Zuppa, Vic Guerrero and Frank Skiffington sit on all three panels; Rohan Cook of HPE joins in Melbourne only, making it a four-person panel.

Brisbane is the only city that gets the AI-focused networking session and Adam Maloney's security session together. Melbourne is where the launch actually happens, being the first date and blueAPACHE's head-office city.

Venues

Each city also has a blueAPACHE office nearby: the head office at Level 21, 242 Exhibition Street in Melbourne, Level 7, 219 Castlereagh Street in Sydney, and Level 2, 16 Marie Street, Milton in Brisbane. Full contact details are on the contact page.

What the day looks like

Each date opens with an arrival lunch and "Innovation Exchange" from 11:30am, an exhibition format rather than a formal session. The keynotes run from 12:25pm, the customer story at 1:35pm, then seven ten-minute partner sessions between 1:55pm and 3:05pm, each mapped to one operating capability rather than to a product. The executive panel runs from 3:05pm and networking drinks follow from 3:30pm. The full timed agenda is on the roadshow overview page.

Agenda themes and related services

Automation-led operations (NinjaOne) and experience-led operations (ControlUp) relate to the Managed Services Re-engineered bundles; security-first operations (Huntress) to managed detection and response; human risk management (Mimecast) to emPOWER Human Risk Management; modern collaboration (Zoom) to the collaboration services; network-led operations (HPE Networking) to connectivity; AI-ready operations (Microsoft) to the Microsoft Practice. The wider roster is on the vendor partner record and the partners page.

If you cannot make a date

Nothing in the roadshow is published as an online session or a recording, so the material is only available in person. The nearest substitutes in this directory are the blog, which carries blueAPACHE's written commentary on the same themes, the case studies, which show the operating model applied to named customers, and the resources hub. The service comparison sets out what the re-engineered bundles actually include, which is the substance of the launch keynote.

Frequently asked questions

What events does blueAPACHE have coming up?

One programme: the OUTCOME 2026: Outpace Change roadshow in October 2026, with sessions in Melbourne on Thursday 8 October, Sydney on Thursday 15 October and Brisbane on Tuesday 20 October, each from 11:30am to 4:00pm.

Are blueAPACHE events free?

The OUTCOME 2026 roadshow is complimentary, with registration essential and places limited. No paid events are listed.

Are events in person or online?

All three OUTCOME 2026 dates are in person, with an arrival lunch and networking drinks. The origin page says blueAPACHE also runs webinars and roundtables, but none is currently listed and no online stream is published for the roadshow.

How do I register?

Through the "Register Today" form on the origin event page for the city you want to attend, linked from each event page in this directory. Each city registers separately.

Is the programme the same in every city?

The agenda, timings and format are. Three things change: the HPE networking speaker and the brief of that session, the Huntress security speaker, and the size of the executive panel, which runs four in Melbourne and three elsewhere.

Who is speaking?

Michael Zuppa, CEO of blueAPACHE, and Brad Twynham deliver the keynotes, with Twynham also facilitating the panel. Dom Sargeant of CXC Global gives the only customer session. Partner sessions come from NinjaOne, ControlUp, Zoom, HPE, Huntress, Mimecast and Microsoft. The full table with names, roles and cities is above.

Are past events published?

The origin page has a Past Events section that currently shows no items.

What is being launched at the roadshow?

The national launch of "Managed Services. Re-engineered." and the formal introduction of IT Operations Excellence as a Service, blueAPACHE's term for managed services built on automation, real-time visibility and one accountable operating model.

Can I attend more than one city?

Nothing on the origin site prevents it, though the programme is the same in each. The reason to attend two would be the sessions that change: the HPE networking brief differs between Melbourne and the other two, and the panel differs in Melbourne.

Is there a recording if I miss it?

None is published. The written material closest to the programme is the blog and the case studies.
