The most anticipated awards program of the year, the Australian Defence Industry Awards, is back to once again identify the top businesses and professionals in the defence industry across the nation.
Recognising people and businesses rather than products and platforms, the Australian Defence Industry Awards program universally acknowledges all defence industry stakeholders, from primes, SMEs and academic institutions to defence executives, Indigenous and female leaders, students, scientists, academics and technicians, and other high-performing leaders.
The awards are open to all businesses operating in Australia that support the defence supply chain and have become a desirable accolade for individuals and businesses seeking to forge their place in the defence industry. Take the first step toward national recognition and build a reputation for excellence.
Get ready to celebrate in style at the 2026 black-tie gala event that will bring together leaders to celebrate the achievements and excellence of the industry’s best and brightest.

With each passing year, the Australian Cyber Summit has been increasingly relied upon as the nation’s trusted platform for connection and intelligence sharing.
The summit returned in 2026 for its fourth consecutive year, drawing timely insights from a threat landscape that was constantly mutating.
It was future-focused, but not prophetic. The summit contextualised the latest intelligence emerging from the sector, whether that was geopolitical analysis, regulatory change, or evolving technologies and mindsets, to prepare attendees to face both known and unknown challenges.
It was this unique blend of cutting insight and connection that made the summit an unmissable event in the calendar of leading cyber and business professionals alike.
Backed by the full weight of Cyber Daily – Australia’s leading daily news source for cyber professionals – and supported by a roster of influential speakers across the public and private sectors, the event elevated leadership credentials in 2026.
Register your interest for 2027.
