Recorded on day three of CyberCon 2026 in Melbourne, the first episode of the Cyber Voices CyberCon series brings AISA Chair Michael Burchell back into the booth with host David Savva-Willett. Close to 5,800 delegates came through the doors this year, a record for the conference, and the pair reflect on what made it work: a program with a record number of speakers presenting for the first time, a deliberate focus on cyber while a global trend pulls conferences towards AI, and a community that turns up to share what it has learned.
