AELERT’s 2026 Conference theme revealed!

Dec 17, 2025

We’re excited to unveil the theme for the AELERT 2026 Conference, Future ready regulation: embracing innovation, leading change, and strengthening regulatory systems, set to take place over three days between late October and mid-November 2026 in one of Australia’s capital cities (location and venue to be released in early 2026).

This conference is shaping up to be our most ambitious yet – bigger, bolder, and more impactful. The 2026 program is designed to meet regulatory practitioners and agencies where they are. Recognising this pivotal moment, defined by unprecedented challenges and opportunities in a rapidly evolving world, the program will offer a clear path forward through innovation, collaboration, and practical insight.

With a strong emphasis on practical tools, real-world insights, and future-focused strategies, this event will equip regulatory practitioners and agencies with the knowledge and capability to lead change, embrace innovation, and strengthen the systems that underpin public trust.

Mark your calendars and create a line in your budget because this will be the standout event on your regulatory calendar for regulatory professionals ready to lead, innovate, and shape the future.

Download a copy of the AELERT 2026 Conference concept paper now and stay tuned for more news in early 2026.
