AIPIO Intelligence 2025 Conference
Australian Institute of Professional Intelligence Officers (AIPIO) | Sydney 20 – 22 August 2025 | Sheraton on the Park
The conference theme is: ‘A Thriving Intelligence Profession’. Within that theme, we will explore the sub-themes of Leadership, Transformation, and Empowerment – each factor represents what is needed to sustain and build the intelligence profession in Australia for the complex and challenging future.
A thriving intelligence profession hinges on effective leadership, transformation, and empowerment to navigate the complexities of an ever-changing global landscape. Leadership provides the strategic vision and direction to guide teams through routine and unprecedented challenges, ensuring that intelligence operations remain agile and responsive. Transformation is equally crucial, as it involves embracing innovative technologies and methodologies to stay ahead of evolving threats and enhancing operational capabilities. Empowerment complements these elements by fostering a culture where intelligence professionals are encouraged to develop skills, contribute ideas, and take ownership of their roles. Together, these factors drive a dynamic and resilient intelligence community capable of addressing emerging issues with foresight and precision, ultimately supporting robust national security and informed decision-making.
The conference will represent the broad diversity of different domains of intelligence practice and the critical role and influence each domain has in securing our defence, security and well-being.
