If you are living around the Albury and Wagga Wagga, NSW area? We invite you to join us for the ACS Regional Tech Fireside Chat on 29 Feb 2024.
Join us to explore technology trends: What do we want from our IT moving forward.
This is a great opportunity for the Riverina tech community to come together and network, and discuss the latest tech trends.
Join Tanya Finnen (Non-Executive Director & former CIO) and Lisa Ryan (General Manager Digital and Business Innovation, North East Water) in conversation with Mike Meyer discussing what regional businesses and organisations want and need as they gaze into 2024 and beyond.
The panel discussion will touch on points such as the vision, alignment, opportunities, and challenges facing IT departments and how they are managing the changing technology landscape in their organisations.
Key topics include balancing innovation with risk, sustainability and ethics as well as developing a highly skilled regional tech workforce.

Speakers
Tanya led IT at North East Water in Wodonga for eight years before becoming Chief Information Officer at Albury-Wodonga Health from 2021-23 where she transformed the capability of IT with a patient-centric focus. In February 2024 Tanya is extremely proud to be joining community owned BankWAW, to guide their ongoing digital transformation that continues to support and fulfill the expectations of its 25,000 customers.
Lisa was born and raised in Albury/Wodonga and returned to the area several years ago, after seeing such growth and change in her home town and work opportunities that were not afforded earlier in her career. Since then, she has found inspiring local businesses and employers, and the central location of Albury/Wodonga allows for easy travel to Melbourne or Sydney for networking and conferences. She is passionate about solving real problems rather than shiny new toys, supporting people in their transition to digital ways of working, and continually learning from others. She is constantly looking for ways to pay it forward to local youth by building STEM work experience and placements, promoting local job opportunities in regional areas, and pathways for neurodiverse students to find futures that are not restricted by their perceived limitations, but defined by their incredible strengths.
