Future strategic leaders will deliver six-minute bursts about a topic they’re passionate about and they also feel is of importance to Australia’s national security.

Their talks are engaging, edgy and arguing a specific point or position. Expect innovative thinking and insights, even some controversy.

It runs for one hour in the arthouse-style setting of Palace Electric Theatre, and is followed by a networking event. It is your chance to engage in conversation with Australia’s future security leaders.

Join us for a networking event in the bar afterwards. Tickets include a complimentary drink (selected beer, wine and soft drink) and nibbles.
