An Evening Worth Staying For. The ASIS ACT Gala Dinner is the most anticipated evening in the Canberra security calendar, bringing together the industry for a night to remember.
The ASIS ACT Gala Dinner is the most anticipated evening in the Canberra security calendar. Held at the National Press Club on the evening of SAGE 2026, it brings together security professionals from government, industry and the broader sector for a night of recognition, conversation and genuine connection.
Three courses. Live music. The ASIS ACT industry recognition awards.
The Gala Dinner draws the most senior and connected professionals in the Canberra security community — Agency Security Advisers, security managers, CSOs, senior integrators, technology partners and the sponsors and exhibitors who make SAGE possible.
It’s the one night of the year where the full spectrum of the profession — government, commercial, vendor, consultant — sits at the same table. For many attendees, the relationships built at the Gala Dinner shape the work they do for the year ahead.
The Gala Dinner is a separately ticketed event. You do not need a general SAGE registration to attend, though most dinner guests also attend the exhibition and seminar programme during the day.
