Continuing the mission inspired by war historian and journalist Charles Edwin Woodrow (C.E.W.) Bean (1879-1968), this annual gathering brings our community together to preserve his legacy and honour those who record Australia's military history from the front lines.
This year, we are privileged to announce that the 2026 Keynote Address will be delivered by the Prime Minister of Australia, the Honourable Anthony Albanese MP.
Please join us for a memorable evening honouring Australia's war correspondents.
