Safer Online Futures: eSafety Symposium 2026
Save the date for this year’s flagship online safety event.
Online safety is a shared global responsibility. As countries introduce new social media restrictions, and AI rapidly reshapes how we live, learn and connect, we are at a critical juncture.
Join us for Safer Online Futures, a one‑day symposium bringing together experts from Australia and around the world, to explore the future of online safety regulation, innovation, prevention and education.
Connect with experts and peers to develop a clearer picture of what’s ahead and how to respond, across:
- online safety regulation and enforcement
- the future of technology and implications for safety
- online safety education and prevention programs.
Whatever your background, you’ll leave with fresh insights, global perspectives, and a clearer view of what’s next for online safety.
When: Monday 23 November 2026
Where: The Fullerton Hotel Sydney
