The National AI & Cybersecurity Leadership Summit 2026 is bringing together leaders who are shaping Australia’s future across artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital capability, and workforce readiness.
We are pleased to announce Patrick Kidd OBE OAM, Chief Executive Officer of Future Skills Organisation, as part of this year’s speaker lineup.
Patrick brings an important perspective on the skills and capability needed to support Australia’s digital future. As AI continues to transform industries, the conversation is no longer only about technology. It is also about preparing people, organisations, and systems for the changes ahead.
His insights will contribute to key discussions on workforce readiness, digital transformation, AI capability, and the skills required to support secure and responsible innovation.
Why This Matters
Australia’s ability to lead in AI and cybersecurity depends on more than tools and infrastructure. It depends on developing the right skills, strengthening capability, and ensuring organisations are ready for the future of work.
At the summit, leaders will explore how industry, government, and education can work together to build a stronger digital workforce.
