The Royal Society of NSW and the Learned Academies Forum 2026, on the theme of ‘A Hinge of History: Tipping Points and Existential Risks‘, was hosted at Government House, Sydney, by Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC on Thursday, 5 November 2026.
The event, which included a keynote presentation by Dr Toby Ord, and sessions on technology (with a focus on the implications of artificial intelligence), climate change, health, and governance, has been widely acknowledged as a great success. Around 120 people attended the event in person during the day, while another 60 participated via the live stream.
Video recordings of all Forum sessions are now available from the Forum 2026 playlist on our YouTube channel.
A gallery of images from the Government House event is also available for viewing and downloading from our SharePoint site.
An archived page of the 2026 Forum, with links to the program brochure and video presentations (with timestamps), is now available on our Forums page.
