The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has announced the core program for its Annual Forum 2025, scheduled for November 12-13, 2025, in Melbourne. Under the theme **‘Australia in a dynamic world,’** the event aims to gather thought leaders, policymakers, industry representatives, and consumer advocates to address critical challenges facing Australia’s financial system.
ASIC Chair Joe Longo emphasized the urgency of adapting to rapid global changes, stating, “The pace of global change has never been greater, with digital technology reshaping how we interact and conduct business.” He highlighted that the Forum will focus on ensuring that Australia’s financial system is not only fit for current demands but also capable of evolving to meet future challenges.
The Forum will feature key presentations and panel discussions, offering a platform for participants to explore vital topics, including regulatory frameworks, industry innovations, and consumer protections. Longo noted that the event serves as ASIC’s flagship gathering to outline its key enforcement priorities for the upcoming year. “Working through how we ensure Australia’s financial system remains fit for today and ready for a rapidly changing future will be central to this year’s Forum,” he added.
ASIC plans to release the full program in the coming weeks, detailing the specific topics and speakers who will contribute to the discussions. This annual event provides a crucial opportunity for stakeholders to engage in meaningful dialogue about the future of Australia’s financial landscape.
