In a period of rapid and sustained workplace change, the risks and opportunities for employers have never been more complex.
Kingston Reid’s Future Workplace Law Summit 2026 will explore the legal, regulatory and strategic shifts shaping the future of work in Australia and beyond.
Bringing together leading voices from across the legal, regulatory and business landscape, this year’s Summit will unpack the most pressing workplace challenges facing employers, offering practical insights into key legal developments alongside broader economic and workplace trends, both in Australia and overseas.
