2011 National Summit - The 9/11 Decade: How Everything Changed

6 June 2011 - 7 June 2011

Two years on from 9/11 then-US Vice President Dick Cheney remarked that terrorist attacks on New York and Washington had "changed everything" - that the United States national security strategy had altered forever.

Indeed it has changed the world – from geopolitics, peace and stability to freedom, democracy and human rights. It has also changed the global standing of the US, now recognised for its strengths as well as its vulnerabilities.

With the tenth anniversary looming, and in ways Cheney could not have anticipated, 9/11 has changed everything – but how?

Government decision-makers past and present, thought leaders and academic experts from the US, Australia and around the world joined together to take stock of the first epoch of the new millennium, the 9/11 Decade.
