Registrations now open – Securing our Future 2026

We’re excited to announce that registrations are now open for ANU National Security College's flagship conference – Securing our Future: a ready and resilient Australia. 

This conference will use our Community Consultations initiative as a foundation to connect the voices of the Australian people with national decision-making and help sharpen policy in key national security areas from defence and technology and economic security to community cohesion, counter-terrorism and counter-disinformation.

The conference will bring together diverse voices from all tiers of Government, parliament, the national security community, industry, civil society, academia, and media – including the voices from our national consultations.

Whether you’re a policymaker, professional, researcher, student or community leader, this is your opportunity to be part of a whole-of-nation dialogue on Australia’s security future.

Date: 24–25 March 2026

Venue: Lowitja O'Donoghue Cultural Centre, The Australian National University, Canberra
