The Emerging Voices Series: Strategy, Security & Defence at UNSW Canberra

Description:

Security & Defence PLuS will host the Emerging Voices Series: Strategy, Security & Defence at UNSW Canberra on Thursday 29 October 2026.

This one-day conference will bring together established leaders and recognised experts with rising and underrepresented voices to explore the future of strategy, security, and defence.

The Emerging Voices Series pairs senior expertise with new ideas and talent, creating space for intergenerational dialogue and forward-looking debate. The series connects scholars and practitioners from across academia, government, industry and Defence, drawing on the strengths of UNSW, the PLuS Alliance, and the wider Australian policy and security community.

The programme will explore a range of themes including leadership, innovation and decision-making in a changing security environment; public trust, perceptions and participation in national security; competition and conflict below the threshold of armed conflict; and the opportunities and challenges of AUKUS Pillar II and emerging technologies.

The UNSW Canberra event will be the third instalment of the Emerging Voices Series, following conferences at Arizona State University and King’s College London earlier in 2026.

We encourage in-person attendance where possible, however, live-streamed participation will be available for those unable to attend in person.
