If you know what ISACA means (Information Systems Audit and Control Association) and if you support its aims as 140,000 in 200 countries do, pencil in 26 October for its 40-year celebrations and an Innovation Summit.
The one-day summit will bring together leading industry experts to present their latest thinking, research and practical experience to assist IT and business professionals with implementing and exploring innovative practices within their enterprises. Panel discussions will cover the emergence of blockchain and innovation in cyber security.
The ISACA Sydney Chapter was the first founded outside North America, in 1976. The anniversary celebration will include a Gala Dinner on 27 October at Dockside, Cockle Bay Wharf, where outstanding members in the IT security, risk, assurance and governance sectors will be recognised.
“For 40 years, ISACA Sydney has had a direct impact on peoples’ careers in auditing, governance, risk, and more recently cyber security,” said ISACA Sydney Chapter president Andy Bornhorst. “To commemorate the anniversary and say thank you to all the members who have made ISACA one of Australia’s leading professional IT organisations, we have brought together inspiring leaders to learn how best to drive innovation into the workplace, to survive the next wave of digital technology.”
