Sydney | 25–26 June 2026
For the first time, the world’s most practical crisis communications training is coming to Australia.
After more than 40 sold-out editions across Europe and North America, the Crisis Communications Boot Camp arrives in Sydney, bringing together senior crisis leaders from the US, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia to focus on how organisations must prepare for and respond to crises in an age of polarization, AI disruption, and constant scrutiny.
The Australian edition features Colleen Harris, appearing in Australia for the first time. Harris will share crisis leadership lessons from the most turbulent years of the British Monarchy, offering rare insight into decision-making at the highest level under global media pressure.
The program also draws on case studies from 10 Downing Street, the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack, and real-world crises involving EnergyAustralia, LinkedIn, Dubai Airports, and Edelman, providing participants with practical lessons they can apply immediately.
Day two features a full-day, hands-on AI-powered crisis communications workshop led by Peter Heneghan, former Director of Digital Communications at 10 Downing Street. The workshop focuses on applying AI across the crisis lifecycle and building a practical, AI-enhanced crisis response plan tailored to each organisation.
The Crisis Communications Boot Camp Australia is supported by International Association of Business Communicators Asia Pacific, with members receiving an exclusive 10 percent discount on registration.
Attendance is limited to 80 participants to ensure focused discussion and direct access to global crisis experts.
