AI has collapsed the wall between data protection and security. Every AI deployment is a data governance decision, every model creates a new attack surface, and the teams responsible for protecting enterprise data are now being handed AI security as well.
Now in its fifth year, AI + Data Security World Melbourne runs two summits under one roof — AI Security & Governance and Data Protection & Security — bringing 500+ CISOs, Chief Data Officers, Chief Privacy Officers and the teams protecting enterprise data together to compare programmes directly with their peers.
AI has collapsed the wall between data protection and security. Most events still put them in separate rooms.
In Melbourne, Sydney, San Francisco and New York both summits run in parallel under one roof. Pick your stream, or move between them freely.
Securing the models, agents and pipelines, and proving to regulators and boards that the controls hold.
Finding, governing and protecting sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, AI and the systems you don't control.
At least 85% of the audience are security, data and privacy practitioners. Registration, morning tea, lunch and drinks are shared, so both summits end up in the same conversations.
Small groups, real problems, peers in your seat. Ten to twelve practitioners around one table, chaired by someone who does the job, working through something the whole room is dealing with.
Practitioners sharing what worked, not vendor theory. What they built, what it cost, what broke, and what they would do differently.
Live debate. Vote and contribute from your phone. Three or four people who genuinely disagree, a chair willing to push, and the room's answers on screen as it runs.
Matched to your challenges. Short meetings with solution providers based on what you flag at registration, scheduled around the rest of your day at the summit.
Confirmed so far for AI + Data Security World Melbourne on 6 May 2027. More speakers will be announced as the programme is finalised.
