Change management professionals may want to act fast: registration is now live for ACMP Change Sydney 2027, and the organizers are already warning that seats are strictly limited and likely to vanish quickly. This marks the first time the Association of Change Management Professionals® (ACMP®) has brought an in-person conference to the region, a move the group says underscores its push to build a genuinely global network of practitioners.
The event is scheduled for March 3–4, 2027, at L’Aqua in Sydney’s Darling Harbour. With a theme of REDRAW • RECALIBRATE • RESHAPE: Navigating the Emerging Terrain of Change, the conference aims to gather experienced change practitioners, industry leaders, and thought leaders from Australia, New Zealand, and beyond. Attendees will examine the forces reshaping both organizations and the change management profession itself.
“Bringing ACMP’s first in-person conference to this region is an important milestone in our commitment to building a truly global community of change professionals,” said Deshini Newman, ACMP Chief Executive Officer. “Change Sydney 2027 will create opportunities for practitioners to connect, share perspectives, and learn from one another while exploring how our profession can continue to evolve. We are excited to bring this experience to Sydney and look forward to welcoming our regional community.”

As technology, workforce composition, and organizational environments shift at an accelerating pace, change professionals are confronting both fresh hurdles and new openings. The conference is designed to push attendees to rethink long-held approaches, adapt their methods, and discover novel ways to drive meaningful impact.
Through presentations, practical takeaways, interactive discussions, and peer networking, participants will be challenged to:
• REDRAW how they understand the changing landscape of organizations and society.
• RECALIBRATE their approaches to navigating increasingly complex change.
• RESHAPE the future of change management practice and its impact on organizations and communities.
“The future of change management depends on our willingness to challenge assumptions, embrace new perspectives, and continually strengthen our practice,” said Samantha Rykers, MCMP™, CCMP®, ACMP Board Member (Australia). “Change Sydney offers a unique opportunity for professionals across the region to come together, share their experiences, and help shape what comes next. With such limited seating, I encourage anyone interested in attending to secure their place as soon as possible.”
An evening networking reception is planned for Wednesday, March 3, giving attendees a chance to build relationships, swap ideas, and deepen ties within the regional change management community.
The full agenda—including speakers and session specifics—will be announced later. Organizers advise registering now rather than waiting for the program release, given the strict capacity limit and anticipated sell-out.
