Celebrating excellence across the entire Australian AI ecosystem
AI is reshaping every industry from finance and healthcare to defence and energy. Behind this transformation are the researchers, engineers, founders, and leaders building AI solutions that deliver real, measurable impact. The Australian AI Awards program exists to recognise them.
First launched in 2024, the awards have quickly become the definitive national benchmark for AI excellence. In 2026, the program returns for its third iteration, bigger, broader, and more ambitious than ever, with 37 categories spanning individual achievement, group innovation, and enterprise leadership.
Winners are chosen by an independent panel of AI experts drawn from industry, academia, and government. Finalists and winners gain national media coverage, profile among peers, and recognition that drives careers and businesses forward.
2027 dates to be announced
The 2026 Australian Defence Industry Awards brought together the nation's leading defence businesses and professionals for an unforgettable evening celebrating excellence, innovation, and leadership across the sector.
Recognising people and businesses rather than products and platforms, the awards honoured outstanding achievements from across the defence ecosystem, including primes, SMEs, academic institutions, defence executives, Indigenous and female leaders, students, scientists, academics, technicians, and other high-performing professionals.
As Australia's premier defence awards program, the Australian Defence Industry Awards continue to celebrate those shaping the future of the nation's defence capability.
The awards will return in 2027. Register your interest today to be among the first to know when submissions open, receive key program updates, and start preparing your path to national recognition.
2027 dates to be announced
With each passing year, the Australian Cyber Summit has been increasingly relied upon as the nation’s trusted platform for connection and intelligence sharing.
The summit returned in 2026 for its fourth consecutive year, drawing timely insights from a threat landscape that was constantly mutating.
It was future-focused, but not prophetic. The summit contextualised the latest intelligence emerging from the sector, whether that was geopolitical analysis, regulatory change, or evolving technologies and mindsets, to prepare attendees to face both known and unknown challenges.
It was this unique blend of cutting insight and connection that made the summit an unmissable event in the calendar of leading cyber and business professionals alike.
Backed by the full weight of Cyber Daily – Australia’s leading daily news source for cyber professionals – and supported by a roster of influential speakers across the public and private sectors, the event elevated leadership credentials in 2026.
Register your interest for 2027.
