Cybersecurity Conferences in Australia 2026

Australia has the busiest cybersecurity conference calendar in the region, with Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra carrying most of it. AISA's Australian Cyber Conference in Melbourne each October is the largest single event. Canberra's programme leans towards government and defence, with MilCIS, the Protective Security Governance Conference and the Government Cyber Security Showcase. Community conferences run in every capital: BSides in Canberra, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane, CrikeyCon in Brisbane and DEATHCon in Melbourne. Commercial summit series from Clutch Events, Corinium, Forefront Events, Public Sector Network and Gartner rotate through the eastern capitals, and SANS runs training weeks in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra.
