If you are looking to recalibrate in 2027, QLS invites you to share your insights at Symposium 2027.
The Society is calling for contributions to the premier annual event, which next year will have the theme Recalibrate.
The theme invites practitioners to examine the changes in the profession that require reassessment and refinement, prompted by legal reform, technological change, new compliance requirements or shifting client expectations.
Presenting at Symposium offers a distinguished opportunity to share your expertise with peers, contribute to the advancement of the profession, strengthen professional reputation, expand networks, and be recognised as a leader within your area of practice.
Presenters also receive complimentary conference registration.
Submissions which address the theme are welcomed, and may include:
- legislative developments, case law, regulatory reform and policy changes
- compliance, governance and risk challenges
- hard lessons from a case or matter that became a turning point
- how courts, tribunals and regulators are adapting to changing patterns of participation, technological capability and community expectations
- pricing, productivity and client service in an era of automation and augmentation
- designing legal services that respond to changing client expectations, communication preferences and the need to provide distinctly human value
- emerging issues that may require recalibration across the profession
A presentation can be in the form of a lecture, panel discussion, workshop or storytelling session.
Applications can be made here.
The deadline for submissions is Monday 26 October 2026, with notification of acceptance on Friday 30 October 2026.
The Symposium will be held on 12 March 2027, at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, with close to 1000 legal practitioners expected to attend.
