Quantum computing is driving a security transition—not because the “quantum apocalypse is tomorrow,” but because long-lived data and systems in finance, government identity, healthcare, defence, energy networks and communications can be compromised today through “harvest now, decrypt later.” The systemic risk is straightforward: if we wait until the last minute, migration becomes chaotic, expensive, and operationally disruptive while compromising critical systems.

This is a how-to roundtable for moving from PQC awareness to execution. Banks, big tech, government, security agencies and critical infrastructure operators will align on practical steps: cryptographic inventory, crypto-agility, standards alignment, vendor and supply-chain readiness, procurement language, testing, and staged migration—so organisations can upgrade without breaking interoperability or service continuity.

Outcomes: Insights from discussions will contribute towards GFTN's work on a practical Quantum-Safe Migration Starter Pack with priority systems list, decision points, recommended timelines and a minimum target state for crypto-agility plus a shortlist of “next-wave” opportunities worth piloting.

Join us for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of Perth's world-class supercomputing facilities. This is a rare opportunity to see the sheer power of advanced computation firsthand and understand its transformative potential. Experience the technology driving today's breakthroughs across AI, climate modelling, quantum computing, and blockchain.

Limited slots available.

The 2026 Innovation Tours are now full. To be added to the waiting list, please email info.australia@blackswansummit.com.

Quantum technologies are transforming industries. At Black Swan Summit, delegates gain firsthand access to the laboratories where these technologies are being developed.

Hosted by UWA Physics, the tour pairs a clear introduction to quantum concepts with guided lab rotations across quantum computing, sensing, and communications.

Delegates will leave with practical insight into how these technologies work, their real-world applications, and the opportunities they create for research, collaboration, and innovation.

Programme

• Quantum 101: Introduction to Quantum Concepts
• Quantum Lab Tour (Limited to 20 slots only)

Please note:

As slots for the Quantum Lab Tour are limited, delegates are required to register their interest via this link.
