Finding the Frequency: HEXPO 2026 Lands at LCI Melbourne

On Friday 18 September, LCI Melbourne's Collingwood campus became a creative clubhouse for the finale of HEXPO 2026 — HEX's week-long “Find Your Frequency” festival of ideas. Over 140 founders, innovators, educators and big thinkers moved through our building for the festival's culminating day, and the energy was exactly what you'd hope for: fast conversation, disciplines colliding, and ideas being tested in real time rather than presented from a stage.

On Friday 18 September, LCI Melbourne's Collingwood campus became a creative clubhouse for the finale of HEXPO 2026 — HEX's week-long “Find Your Frequency” festival of ideas. Over 140 founders, innovators, educators and big thinkers moved through our building for the festival's culminating day, and the energy was exactly what you'd hope for: fast conversation, disciplines colliding, and ideas being tested in real time rather than presented from a stage. 

It's a fitting place for HEXPO to land, because it's exactly the kind of room our Bachelor of Business & Innovation (BBusI) was built for. BBusI blends 60% core business, management and commerce with 40% entrepreneurship — a fast-tracked, industry-led 2yr degree for people who'd rather build something than wait to be given a seat.  

“Different by Design” isn't a tagline here; it's a commitment that our students learn in rooms with the people building the future of business, not just reading about it. 

HEX (Start with HEX) has become central to how we deliver on that promise. Our multi-year partnership gives BBusI students formal credit-recognised pathways from HEX programs into the degree, sees LCI Melbourne's Collingwood campus host HEX's Global Internship activations for domestic and international participants, and embeds HEX's employability-focused “YOU” unit directly into the BBusI curriculum through our Career Accelerator collaboration. 

“Partnering with organisations like HEX brings our commitment to work-integrated, industry-relevant learning to life. It's what a fast-tracked business and innovation degree should feel like — students learning alongside the people already shaping the industries they're heading into.” 
— Adriano Di Prato, Executive Director APAC, LCI Melbourne 

If you're ready to choose different, the Bachelor of Business & Innovation is where that starts. Applications for our February 2027 intake are open now.
