AUSTRALIA’S LEADING NATIONAL SECURITY FORUM

6th Annual National Security Australia 2008

 
 

The security picture is evolving. The blurring of lines between terrorism and security combined with the outcome of the federal election all contribute to a potential shift in focus for modern security professionals working in the industry. Add to that the increasing spectre of climate change and the increasing awareness of the impact that this might have on international security and you start to realise just how difficult it is to keep abreast of all the latest trends that impact on your role. The National Security Australia Forum is a well loved fixture on the security calendar, attracting over 250 senior delegates from across the national security space and featuring presentations from leading Australian and international security experts. Now in its 6th year – and bringing you the most ambitious event to date – it will review the most recent counter-terrorism initiatives, outline future security challenges, promote increased international and regional cooperation, and highlight the importance of private sector engagement in the fight against terrorism.   Download the 2008     KEY THEMES > The Path Forward for Australian National Security > Climate Change and the Threats Posed by Forced Migration > Global Trends in International and Domestic Terrorism > The IED threat in the Middle East Area of Operations and the ADF Response > Special Event Security & APEC: Six Months On, Lessons Learnt > Security Governance in National Security > What is the Cost of Security that Citizens are Prepared to Pay? > Commercial Espionage > How Public and Private Sector Can and Should Work Together 4 UNMISSABLE PRE-EVENT WORKSHOPS!
