SAGE 2026 gives security and facilities professionals across government and industry a single, focused day to see the latest technology, learn from the nation’s leading experts, and connect with the people shaping Australia’s security landscape — right here in the capital.
The threats facing government and commercial facilities are evolving fast — and the technology to counter them is evolving faster. Access control, AI-driven surveillance, converged cyber-physical security, SCEC-compliant hardware: the landscape shifts constantly, and the window to keep pace is narrow.
Most security professionals don’t have the time or budget to chase the latest developments across trade shows, training courses, and industry briefings scattered around the country. That means gaps — in knowledge, in network, in capability.
For years, SAGE has brought together the security and facilities community that protects Australia’s most critical institutions — government agencies, defence facilities, commercial precincts and national infrastructure.
Organised by SEN in partnership with ASIS ACT, SAGE is the only event in Australia purpose-built for the government security environment. Every exhibitor, every seminar, every training stream is selected to reflect the real pressures and priorities of the people in the room.
SAGE is made possible by the leading names in security technology. Our sponsors and partners don’t just back the event — they’re the people demonstrating, presenting and shaping the day in the nation’s capital.
Pre-register online in under two minutes. Entry to the exhibition floor and all seminar sessions is included at no cost.
Select the seminars most relevant to your role. Government employees and DISP members can also register for the exclusive ASIS ACT training streams.
Arrive at Hotel Realm on 19 November. Walk the floor, attend your sessions, and spend the afternoon building the knowledge and connections that make your work sharper.
Round out the day at the ASIS ACT Gala Dinner — three courses, live music, industry awards and continue the conversations that started on the expo floor.
35+ of Australia’s leading manufacturers and integrators demonstrating live — access control, surveillance, perimeter defence, cyber-physical convergence and more. Free for all registered attendees.
Expert-led sessions from government and industry practitioners on the threats, technologies and policy changes shaping the profession. Included with your free registration — choose the sessions relevant to your role.
Two concurrent masterclass streams designed exclusively for government employees and DISP members. Topics include PSPF, insider threat, SCEC zones and more. Places are strictly limited and ticketed — register early to secure your place.
The capital’s security profession comes together for an evening of recognition, conversation and connection. Three-course dinner, live music and the industry awards. Book a full table or individual seats — early-bird pricing available now.
SAGE exhibitors don’t send brochures — they bring the technology and demonstrate it live. From the access control platforms governing your building’s entry points to the AI analytics watching your perimeter, everything is hands-on.
Every exhibitor at SAGE runs live demonstrations. You leave with firsthand experience of the technology — not a catalogue.
The expo, seminars, government training and gala dinner share a single day and a single venue. No multi-day schedule. No competing commitments.
The seminar programme and training streams are shaped around the realities of securing government — PSPF obligations, DISP membership, insider threat, SCEC-classified environments. This isn’t a generic security show with a government banner.
The exhibition floor and every seminar session are free for registered attendees. The only ticketed elements are the government training streams and the Gala Dinner.
The best security professionals in and around Canberra use SAGE to stay ahead — not just of the technology, but of the sector. In one focused afternoon, you’ll see what’s changed, understand what’s coming, and spend time with the colleagues and industry contacts who make your work easier to do well.
You came in as someone responsible for protecting people, assets and information. You leave with sharper knowledge, stronger connections, and a clearer picture of where the profession is heading
