The Australian Cyber Conference 2022 - Canberra | Australian Information Security Association (AISA) | 30 May 2022 | National Convention Centre Canberra, 31 Constitution Ave, Canberra ACT 2601, Australia

This will provide business leaders with insights and best practices taught by the industry’s top experts through keynotes, panel sessions and live demonstrations – in person.

Attending the conference, either onsite in Canberra will enable you to network with these practitioners to help you better understand and manage current threats, as well as identify and prepare to meet emerging challenges. An interactive format of workshops, plenary sessions and the opportunity to network with expert practitioners in the field of cyber security is a must for all organisations in the current business environment.

Delegates range from company directors and managers to public servants, lawyers, risk professionals, software architects, and technical security specialists. They come from a broad range of industries from education to finance, government, healthcare, manufacturing, mining, transportation, and utilities.

AISA’s focus groups, conferences, presentations, and networking events, cater to a large range of specialisations.

The diverse nature of our audience enables a variety of perspectives and subjects for discussion at each of our meetings. Most importantly, our conference helps to independently promote awareness and understanding of cyber security issues in the community.
