The 2027 Summit
Event Overview
Regulatory investigators are being asked to do more with less.
Matter volumes are increasing. Evidence is becoming more complex and digital. New technologies are changing how information is identified, assessed and managed. Regulatory powers and penalty regimes continue to evolve, while agencies face growing expectations to intervene earlier, collaborate across jurisdictions and demonstrate that enforcement is actually changing behaviour.
At the same time, every investigation must withstand increasing scrutiny, from courts, regulated entities, oversight bodies, government, the media and the public.
The National Investigations & Enforcement Summit 2027 brings together investigation, compliance and enforcement practitioners from across Commonwealth, state, local and New Zealand regulators to examine how high-quality regulatory investigations are actually being run.
Moving beyond regulatory updates and theory, the 2027 Summit will open the bonnet on real investigations, decisions, technologies and enforcement outcomes. Through practical case studies, cross-agency comparisons, workshops and peer-led discussions, delegates will examine what worked, what didn't and what another regulator can apply.
From building investigator capability and triaging overwhelming matter volumes, to deploying AI safely, managing complex evidence, collaborating across agencies and selecting the right enforcement response, the Summit is designed to turn individual cases into organisational capability.
Every session will be challenged to answer one question:
What are three things another regulator can apply on Monday?

Past Attendee Testimonials
With over 17 years of experience in investigations and compliance, I found the summit extremely worthwhile from an educative standpoint and a networking opportunity. To have access to speakers and panels, with a wealth of experience, is a unique experience, one that shouldn't be missed.
It was a valuable forum that brought together practitioners from across jurisdictions to share insights, challenges, and emerging best practices. The discussions were highly relevant to contemporary investigative work and reinforced the importance of collaboration, innovation, and adaptability in enforcement activities.
Based on the programme, I thought the conference would be very interesting and useful - and wasn't disappointed.
