ABCC - Australian British Resilience Summit | Sydney 2026

Event information

As global competition, disruption and volatility intensify, organisations need sharper insight into the risks shaping growth, investment and decision-making in Australia. Shocks once seen as distant are now affecting supply chains, regulation, infrastructure, energy security, capital flows and market confidence much closer to home.

This one-day summit brings together leaders from business, government, academia and investment to examine what these pressures mean in practice, and how organisations can respond with greater confidence. Held under the Chatham House Rule, the summit will provide an open forum for frank discussion, practical insight and cross-sector perspectives on the challenges now shaping national resilience. Come and better understand the risks ahead, the choices facing industry and government, and the opportunities for organisations prepared to act early.

This Australian British Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) event offers a limited number of funded places for ICAEW members, as part of ICAEW’s membership with the ABCC. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
