About this event
Our July Branch Forum in collaboration with IPSecure is here, and this time it's extra special because it marks our inaugural event at our new premises - 555 Collin St!
We often hear about things like Cyber Security, Climate Change and other macro scale issues which impact our economy and society. ICT has become a critical foundation of so much we rely on, creating many opportunities, but bringing incredibly complex issues along with it.
ICT is a sector which has so much to offer now, and into the future, but we need the brightest and sharpest practitioners to make that journey a positive one.
Modern leadership in ICT is a challenging undertaking, its faced with some incredibly difficult technical issues, but equally some highly impactful interpersonal leadership implications.
Join our panel who will take a look at and propose some solutions to some of the modern and difficult challenges faced by ICT leaders around Australia.
