Humans in the world of AI
This session was recorded on Wednesday 11 March 2026.
CPD Point: 1 Professional Skills
In a world where AI is evolving faster than most corporate approval cycles, our biggest differentiator isn’t the technology we deploy; it’s the mindsets habits and behaviours (Human Operating System or HOS) that determine how we work, learn, adapt, and lead.
In this fireside chat, we’ll explore how organisations, teams, and individuals can upgrade their HOS to unlock the real value of AI, beyond efficiency and buzzword bingo.
Three focus areas:
- Organisations: Design for adaptability, rather than control.
- Teams: If AI is going to change how we work, it’s teams not executives or platforms that determine whether it succeeds
- Individuals: The real frontier is the mindset and behaviours of every individual
Speakers
Dom Price, Work Futurist

In the National Interest: Australia at a regulatory crossroads - what next for a stronger economy?
This session was recorded on Wednesday 11 March 2026.
CPD Point: 1 Substantive Law
Australia’s national interest framework has evolved over the past decade, influenced by foreign ownership, supply chain management, national security and technology development.
Underpinning this are macro-economic trends - geopolitics, geoeconomics, trade and digitalisation - combined with an increasingly complex regulatory environment. The government’s approach to regulating threats continues to build around critical inputs, infrastructure and technology, along with supply and data.
We will explore how national interest themes are influencing the current regulatory environment and can impact your business, including:
- foreign direct investment and merger controls
- national security considerations, including export controls and sanctions, application of government policies and critical infrastructure
- increased focus on integrity and foreign influence.
Join our specialists as they discuss recent events, share strategies for navigating the current framework and explore potential reforms to align with national interest policies.

This session was recorded on Thursday 12 March 2026.

- Predict key challenges from employee class actions and union sponsored representative actions.
- Examine the fall-out from other key employment law developments in the tribunals and from regulators.

Ethics is more than compliance – it’s a strategic advantage. Join this CLE for practical tips on how to protect reputation, build trust and drive business value at a time of dramatic changes in ways of working.
In a session designed for in-house counsel, our panel - featuring an employment lawyer and litigator - will explore the ethical responsibilities at the intersection of legal advice, commercial judgement and culture.
