About this event

ACS South Australia Leadership Series:
The Promise of Diversity in ICT - Have we delivered?


User-added image

According to ACS Australia’s Digital Pulse Report 2021, women currently make up 29% of Australia’s ICT workforce, and this is only growing by 0.75% per year. Doubling the rate that female participation is currently growing in the technology workforce would increase Australia’s economy by $1.8 billion every year on average for the next 20 years. At a time when labour shortages loom as a major issue in the ICT sector, it is vital that policy makers, employers, educational institutions and leaders in our community take practical action to resolve gender imbalance, recognise the promise of diversity and unlock the productivity dividend that women can offer our tech economy.

The fireside chat on the ongoing Promise of Diversity in ICT with our female panel will discuss questions such as
  • What does Diversity mean in the new world order?
  • What progress have we made in the last few years?
  • How has the pandemic changed the discussion for women and the future workforce?

Our guest speakers will draw on research from ACS, OECD and the UN to discuss these important issues, plus take you through their own journeys as women in ICT.
