Everything in one place. Right in the heart of the capital.
SAGE 2026 takes place across two of Canberra’s most accessible and well-regarded venues, located just moments apart in the Parliamentary Triangle precinct. The exhibition, seminars and government training are all held at Hotel Realm in Barton. The ASIS ACT Gala Dinner moves to the National Press Club just a short distance away. No interstate travel. No complicated logistics. Everything you need, in one part of the city.
Hotel Realm sits in the Parliamentary Triangle, within easy reach of the major government precincts in Barton, Deakin, Canberra City and Woden. It is one of Canberra’s premier conference and events venues, with ample space to host both the SAGE exhibition floor and the seminar and training streams concurrently.
