BRANCH FORUM

Our premier event, the NSW Branch Forum enables members and guests from all ICT backgrounds to experience different parts of the ICT industry that they may normally not have contact with. The forum allows them to advance their professional skills, catch up on branch news and develop industry contacts through networking.

A light meal is provided.

Scope of Event

There is no constraint on the scope of topics to be presented at Branch Forums, however, they will be relevant to the ICT industry or the skills of industry professionals.

The Branch Forum is a key communications method to update members about branch activities and upcoming events. Many attendees, members and non-members attend to meet other members and staff of the ACS.

The Branch Forum is attended by ICT professionals from all levels of industry as well as members from the Young IT community.
