Join us for our final forum in 2026, followed by a relaxed networking night with canapes and drinks to celebrate the year's end.About this Event
The forum will explore the implications of recent Five Eyes statement around trusted AI and what they mean for businesses operating across cyber, defence, space, and advanced technology sectors.
While much of the conversation around AI is focused on innovation and adoption, we are particularly interested in exploring what trusted AI means in practice, including assurance, resilience, governance, and the growing expectations being placed on organisations by governments, customers, and supply chain partners.
Panellists:
- Christopher Horlyck, Head of Cyber Security Resilience, ASD
- Nicole Quinn, Vice President for Policy and Government Affairs, Palo Alto Networks
- Michael Gately, Trellis Data
- Canadian High Commission: TBC
EOY celebration
The forum will be followed by our Canberra Cyber Hub End of Year celebrations, bringing together leaders from government, industry, academia, and the broader technology ecosystem.
