About the event
Brisbane Extreme Violence Summit 2026
The Brisbane Extreme Violence Summit forms part of our 2026 program, delivering advanced, case-driven insight into the psychological, psychiatric, and contextual dynamics underlying extreme violence. This full-day event brings together leading experts to examine how violent narratives form, evolve, and, in some cases, culminate in targeted acts of lethal harm.
This event explores serious and extreme violence through detailed examination of belief systems, grievance development, psychiatric vulnerability, and situational triggers. A central component of the program includes in-depth analysis of the Wieambilla police shooting, unpacking motivations, ideological framing, psychological dynamics, and operational lessons emerging from the coronial process.
Key themes include:
Analysing how violent narratives are formed and identifying strategies to reshape and rescript violent thoughts and fantasies
