ICMEC Australia Symposium 2026: The safety stack

When it comes to protecting children from child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA), technology sits at the heart of both the problem and the solution. As digital platforms, AI systems and online services evolve, so do the methods used to facilitate harm to children. This year’s Symposium explores how a modern “safety stack” - spanning technical tools, organisational culture and workforce capability - can prevent, detect and disrupt harm at scale.

The event operates under the Chatham House Rule, creating an environment for honest and candid dialogue, and provides ample opportunities for attendees to connect meaningfully with the public sector, specifically those in government agencies, law enforcement and academia, as well as to engage with peers from a broad range of industries including:

• Financial services

• Crypto

• Technology

• Travel and tourism

• Other critical sectors

The Symposium offers two ticket types - Public sector and Corporate sector - to cater to the differing needs of each audience. Please ensure you select the appropriate ticket when registering, as all registrations are reviewed to confirm eligibility for the selected ticket type. If you’re unsure, you can contact us at event@icmec.org.au.

Please note that Humanitix charges a platform fee which will be applied in addition to the listed ticket price. In the event that the incorrect ticket type is purchased, this fee is unable to be refunded.
