Government Cyber Security Showcase Queensland 2026

10 Sep 2026 Royal Convention Centre QLD, Queensland

Event overview

As Queensland prepares for the 2032 Olympics, a resilient cyber security strategy is more critical than ever. With the state’s growing reliance on digital infrastructure, the stakes for protecting sensitive data, critical services, and public trust continue to rise. Industries such as energy, transport, healthcare, and resources face mounting cyber risks that demand swift and collaborative action. Tackling these challenges requires uniting public agencies, industry leaders, and academia to share insights, implement best practices, and safeguard Queensland’s digital future.

The Queensland Cyber Security Showcase 2026 will address these urgent priorities, with a particular focus on securing regional and remote areas that face unique vulnerabilities due to connectivity gaps and resource limitations. As global attention turns increasingly toward Queensland, the event will also explore how emerging technologies—such as artificial intelligence and advanced analytics—can fortify defences and protect critical infrastructure. Developing a highly skilled local cyber workforce will remain key to achieving long-term resilience and readiness.

The Showcase will bring together leaders and innovators to uncover strategies for strengthening Queensland’s digital ecosystem—fostering collaboration, tackling localised challenges, and building a safer, more connected future for all Queenslanders.
