Australia is living through the most consequential defence investment cycle in its history — $425 billion committed through the Integrated Investment Program, AUKUS Pillar II generating real procurement activity, and a National Defence Strategy that places AI and autonomous capability at the centre of every force design decision.
Secure Australia 2026 is where the vendors, primes, and technology companies who want to be part of that investment cycle meet the commanders, capability chiefs, and program directors who control it. No distractions. No gimmicks. Just Australia's national platform for the Defence, intelligence, and security leaders shaping the future of sovereign capability in the age of AI and autonomy.
Two days. Canberra. The room that matters.
Discover how to leverage AI and automation to empower employees, enhance efficiency, and drive meaningful value—not just tick boxes.
Engage with the commanders, policymakers, capability chiefs, and program directors from the ADF, DSTG, DAIC, ASCA, ASD, and intelligence community who are making the AI, autonomous systems, and sovereign capability investment decisions that will define Australia's defence for a generation.
From closed-door Boardrooms under the Chatham House Rule to Operational Insight Labs, Demo Drives, and Leadership Lunches — Secure Australia's formats are designed to embed your experts inside the conversations that shape strategy and investment, not just put your logo in the room.
Autonomous systems, UAV and counter-UAS, AI and decision intelligence, quantum technologies, cyber and electronic warfare. These are the capability priorities driving Australia's $425 billion IIP — and the people in this room control the programs that fund them.
Secure Australia is built for the government and military audience — which means industry sponsors get access to the room that matters, not a trade show floor. The government attends because the content is trusted. Industry benefits because the audience is real.
From headline sponsorship of the Signature 'From Capability to Command' session to exclusive boardroom ownership, spotlight sessions, demo drives, and Leadership lunches — every format is designed to position your organisation as a genuine capability partner, not just an exhibitor.
