The Trans-Tasman Business Circle is pleased to present the 2026 Silicon Valley Executive Leadership Study Tour, bringing together a select group of senior executives from industry, government, and higher education across Australia and New Zealand. Expanded for 2026, the programme welcomes senior leaders from across industry alongside government and higher education, creating a unique cross sector executive learning experience designed to foster collaboration, fresh perspectives, and practical insights across sectors. 

This immersive five day programme provides direct access to leading global technology organisations, innovation leaders, and executive thought leaders shaping the future of artificial intelligence, digital transformation, organisational performance, and innovation.

Participants will engage in executive briefings, explore real world applications of AI and emerging technologies, participate in facilitated peer discussions, and spend dedicated time at Dreamforce 2026, gaining valuable insights into the latest developments in AI, customer experience, digital platforms, and leadership from one of the world's leading technology conferences. 

Designed for senior executives responsible for strategy, technology, innovation, digital transformation, operations, and organisational performance, the programme combines executive briefings, peer to peer dialogue, site visits, and networking with a carefully curated cohort of leaders from across Australia and New Zealand.
